...graceful physique won her the part against 60,000 other girls who entered Paramount's contest for it last summer, pads about the island with the dubious manner natural for an inexperienced actress impersonating a heroine who has no soul. Laughton, as he managed to do in Devil and the Deep and The Sign of the Cross, gives the role of the villain a peculiarly horrifying quality by humanizing it far beyond the demands of the script...
...estate near Fairhaven, N. J., Manufacturer William Gerhard Mennen (toilet goods) was awakened at dawn by the barking of his four-month-old Scotch terrier, Scotty. He got up "to raise the devil with the dog," found his house in flames. Rousing his wife, he discovered the stairway to the servants' quarters blocked, telephoned the fire department, dashed into the kitchen to unleash the dog, rushed outdoors in his night clothes. Firemen soon arrived, rescued the unconscious servants, could not save the house. Manufacturer Mennen looked around the lawn, found Scotty lying dead of smoke suffocation...
...subtle, are wholly unlike those which U. S. cinema audiences are usually called upon to comprehend. Good shot: Phyllis Barry-a clever young actress whom Producer Goldwyn admired last year when she was playing in a Hollywood musical comedy-in a theatre with Colman, laughing at Charlie Chaplin. The Devil Is Driving (Paramount) is another chapter in Paramount's current saga of crime & punishment, dealing with misbehavior in the garage and the nasty methods of automobile thieves. These thieves are not adept. When they steal a "classy closed job" they drive it so fast that even traffic policemen notice...
...automobile belonging to Dickie Moore can be identified as a death car the instant it appears on the floor of Metropolitan Garage. This and other paraphernalia in The Devil Is Driving-an airshaft into which a sedan topples, a narrow two-way ramp full of blind corners-make it a peculiarly stagey exposé. The garage is an interesting and elaborate caution to curious motorists. In addition to its ramps and airshafts, it contains a mechanic stupider than most real ones (Guinn Williams), a speakeasy with onyx bar, a suite of offices in which a racketeer (Alan Dinehart) operates with...
Sirs: Architects everywhere will appreciate TIME'S description of the monument on Kill Devil Hill at Kitty Hawk, commemorating the first aeroplane flight; for TIME thoughtfully mentioned the architects-Rodgers and Poor (TIME, Nov. 28). Newspapers and magazines rarely give architects and sculptors credit for their creations, albeit painters invariably rate a good story with their names featured in every caption. Incidentally, gifted Architect Robert Perry Rodgers is brother of the late and famed Commander John Rodgers, U. S. N., D. S. M., pioneer in naval aeronautics, mine-removing hero of the North Sea Barrage, trans-pacific flyer...
