...Died. Anna Wilmarth Thompson Ickes, 62, wife of Secretary of the Interior Harold Le Clair Ickes; when an automobile in which she was riding overturned; near Santa...
Half way round the world three days later another automobile accident brought death to another woman of importance- Anna Wilmarth Thompson Ickes, 62, wife of the Secretary of the Interior. The same enthusiasm which Secretary Ickes has for breeding dahlias, Mrs. Ickes gave to the study of the Amerindian. From Coolidge, N. Mex. where she had vacationed for the past ten years attending Indian tribal dances, Mrs. Ickes and a party of friends were last week on their way to Santa Fe to see more Indians. Near a filling station at a settlement known as Velarde the car, driven...
...Anna Karenina (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is the third cinema version of Count Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece. The first was an ambitious little prodigy by Fox in 1915. The second, called Love and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1927, was distinguished by an exhibit of passionate eye-rolling unmatched by anything in his later career on the part of John Gilbert.

Considered as a reproduction of a celebrated novel, Anna Karenina is intelligent, reasonably faithful and less likely to arouse squeals of affected agony from literary hair-splitters than any other recent effort of its kind. Considered on its own merits as a picture, it is the liveliest in which Greta Garbo has appeared since Mata Hari and should on this account delight millions of cinemaddicts who have never of Tolstoy and could not spell out his stories if they had. Good shot: Vronsky's first glimpse of Anna, through steam blowing across her face from the engine of the train...
