...Johnson Stokowski was in Reno last fall, Hollywood reported that her fun-loving husband was seen dancing Big Apples with Garbo at Hollywood house parties. But the report had a cooked-up whiff to it. Garbo's Conquest was ready for release, and before such events Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pressagents invariably concoct romantic blurbs. But when last December "Stoky" drank fond farewells with Greta in Manhattan on the eve of her departure for Europe, most people agreed that something more than publicity was in the air.

A chemical engineer and painter, black-haired, intent Mr. Mayer developed for subway muralists two new methods which last week appeared successful...
...Human Hearts (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is dedicated to the proposition that a boy's best friend is his mother, proves its point by the legend that Abraham Lincoln once summoned a young officer from a Civil War battlefield to tell him so. But before it begins gesturing at its stagy moral, Of Human Hearts does a patient, workmanlike job of reconstructing life in an early 19th-Century Ohio River outpost. Of Human Hearts follows the lives of a stalwart, righteous circuit rider (Walter Huston), his wife (Beulah Bondi) and his son Jason (as a boy, eleven-year-old Gene...
