...whose shallows he could not long imagine himself out of his depth. He was fond of her, in a more and more managerial way, but he could not quite put out of his memory his first love, Lucy, whose brusque disappearance he had never understood. Like other fundamentally mis-married men, Paul had leanings towards saintliness. Out of business hours he read and thought much about the Roman Catholic Church.

Last week the N. C. A. S. M. F. S. descended on the district to operate in conjunction with the Workers International Relief (Communist...

The characterizations were on the whole indicative of able direction, diligent work, plus a manner of treatment which would not be mis-placed on the most cosmopolitan of stages. Rosemary McHugh and Harry Hutchinson convinced in difficult pats, while John F. Joyce, as Charles Lamb, breathed vital breath into his historical model...
