Clyde Beatty was thankful that he had got through the trying first day of a new season without a scratch for himself or a catfight among his 40 surly charges.

The plot contains more Warner Bros, than Tarkington, but the liberties do not affect the characters which, in the persons of the amazing children with which Hollywood swarms these days, are Tarkington silhouets made three-dimensional...
...celebrated his 76th birthday last week. Fourth of the seven sons of old Meyer Guggenheim, Colorado mining tycoon, he was one of the most active members in developing the Guggenheim copper empire. He is still a director in half-a-dozen mining companies besides holding a partnership in Guggenheim Bros. He has served as board chairman of American Smelting & Refining Co.
