Stuart Walker, able technician of Indianapolis and Cincinnati stock companies, has handled the story well but shows his unfamiliarity with the cinema by not moving his camera around enough. Actress Shannon photographs prettily. Less provocative than Clara Bow, she shows more signs of histrionic intelligence. The story, borrowed from a 20-year-old play, is still ip to date in outline but its motivations re rusty, its crucial moments creak a little...
...staged between able Queen Elisabeth and some of the Flemish writers, publicists, poets, playwrights and professors who had been agitating for a Change. To.all appearances the Flemish beer-party had a most happy effect?in Flanders. That a skulking French-blooded reporter was there with his snoopy concealed camera was, for the whole Belgian Royal Family, indeed for Belgium itself, a minor tragedy...
...Burke was two strokes ahead. He hit his ap proach too hard and it scampered across the low platform of the green 15 feet beyond the hole. Von Elm's ball went a foot further.

Attorney George Zerdin Medalie announced that he was trying to bring tax evasion and bootlegging charges against the pale-faced hoodlum...
...much the same position a year ago when, after making her second talkie (A Lady Surrenders), she returned to the stage whence she had been coaxed by Carl Laemmle Jr., who admired her in Death Takes a Holiday. Her face, not conventionally beautiful, photographs better when turned toward the camera than in profile. The charm of her low voice perfectly survives recording. Born Rose Kefer in Manhattan 25 years ago of musician parents (her father, a cellist; her mother, a singer) Miss Hobart was educated to be a concert pianist. Instead she became a proficient harpist. At 18 she married...
