...Lancer" has been justly praised for its spectacular melodrama, picturesquely framed against the forbidding north Indian mountain passes. Very roughly adapted from the successful book of similar title, it proves an exciting bit of pageantry capably acted by a cast which includes Gary Cooper, Franchot Tone, Dick Cromwell, and Kathleen Burke...
This week, with the publication of her fiftieth book,* Kathleen Norris celebrated the golden honeymoon of her marriage to her art, her craft, or whatever the turning out of three or four high-priced serials a year may be called.

Both were tall, beautiful and British. Both had been models and neither was christened Dolores. But Kathleen Marie Rose, the Dolores of the Follies, has never caused a suicide, slept on a park bench, married a Negro, done a fasting act in a barrel. On her retirement from the stage she married an art collector named William Tudor Wilkinson, today lives comfortably in Paris...
