...solo flight from Honolulu to the U. S. last week could not have been more perfectly timed. A weekend recess in the Hauptmann trial cleared the front pages of the U. S. Press for a good spot-news story. To fill that void at that conspicuous moment was a bit of showmanship of which Publicist Putnam might well have been proud...
Lyda Roberti, with her blonde curls, her smile, her accent and her compelling rhythm outstrips the rest of the female participants in the matter of sex interest, while Helen Mack contributes a winsome bit which will not go unappreciated.

He did his bit in the War ("We had slept with our windows open that hard winter and had had only one blanket apiece"). And he is almost as hard a drinker as a Dashiell Hammett hero. It is small wonder that Julie falls in love with him at sight. Conscious of the fact...
