Mary Pickford has-created most of her reputation playing girls whose naivete was proved as thoroughly by their, actions-as by their wide-open blue eyes and the ringlets which hung, symbols of virginity, on their thin shoulders. On the stage, able young Actress Helen Hayes set a high standard of vocal expression in reading the lines. Mary Pickford has not performed vocally, for many a year. Her script was hurt when its sex morality was .cut over for film use and a windy, incredible courtroom scene introduced'. Her cast...

Ancon from Panama, where a drinking spree had placed him in hospital, arrived in Manhattan last week James Thomas ("Tom Tom") Heflin Jr., 28, son of the resounding Alabama Senator who professes mortally to hate and fear alcohol and the Pope of Rome.

When the committee convened, France was asking twice as much for the repair of her devastated regions as she asked last week, and Mr. Young is credited with having persuaded the Allies to scale down...
...nothing surprising in this, for on the stage of the Zagreb Narodna Kazalista, usually the home of grand opera and classic drama, that slick-haired, honey-colored Harlem Negress. Josephine Baker, was due to appear. What worried the manager was the lack of welcome in the mien of the young Croatian technicians. When la Backaire, as most of Europe calls her, started to dance, her nubile body girdled with a zone of ripe bananas, the manager's worst fears were realized...
