...Cinderella Warner tripped gaily out of Harvard to pose for the Daily Record, a little paper in Boston, and to write of her escapades and escapes in the Harvard Union. Since then the subway rider wearily rocketing his way homeward, has been delighted by the slightly bovine features and Pepsodent smile of Little Kay peeping coyly at him from some twelve pictures.

Robinson, William Powell impersonating taxi-drivers, reporters, gamblers, shysters. When Zanuck left Warners, Producer Joe Schenck, who recently has been interested in horse racing at Agua Caliente...
...immediate plans: a cinema biography of the late Flo Ziegfeld, written by his widow Billie Burke; a dramatization of Only Yesterday to make all but youngsters recall the Nineteen Twenties;-'Charles G.
