Handsome Spangler Arlington Brugh, 27, got into the movies when a scout saw him in Journey's End at Pomona College, which graduated him in 1933. A matinee idol and shopgirls' delight from the beginning, he got off on the wrong foot when critics dubbed him "Beautiful" Robert Taylor. To counteract this tendency, his studio, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, put him in one two-fisted role after another, swaddled him in he-man publicity. One day last week, Spangler Arlington Brugh took matters into his own hands...
...Since her death, a year ago, he has gathered practically all his published poetry (about a third of what he has written) in his Collected Poems. In the book's characteristically half-evasive, half-outspoken foreword, The Figure a Poem Makes, Frost says: "It [a poem] begins in delight and ends in wisdom. The figure is the same as for love." Frost's book begins in knowledge and ends in perplexity; but the figure it makes is Frost himself...
...Stand Up and a Fight," co-starring Robert Taylor and Wallace Beery, is another fairly successful effort to make a man out of the ladies' delight. From a southern plantation where Taylor, as Blake Cantrell, an idly rich orphan, is presiding over a hunt meet, the scene shifts rapidly to the roisterous frontier rivalry of a stage line, run by Wallace Beery, and the nascent Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

His autobiographical volumes, As I Was Going Down Sackville Street and Tumbling in the Hay, tell of his indiscreet youth, his love of laughter and low company, his delight in stories of his own and other people's misbehavior. One such got him into a libel suit which cost him ?900. But when Patrick Kavanagh, young Irish poet, published The Green Fool (TIME, Feb. 27), fun-loving Dr. Gogarty could not see the joke. In it Kavanagh told...
From cabbages to kings is the theme of "Idiot's Delight" now competing for first place on the U. T.'s screen with "Topper Takes a Trip." A peculiar emotional attitude toward war is expressed in this drama of worldly types caught on a remote mountain in Europe as war breaks out all around them. There is the villainous munitions manufacturer and his actress mistress, formerly a vaudeville performer in America and now posing as a Russian Countess. Clark Gable represents the cabbages as Harry Van, hoofer and friend of the Countess. The tone of Sherwood's play has been...
