...next winter she returned, debarked with Pia sleeping in a fur-lined papoose bag slung over her shoulder. This time people learned she is so sensitive she blushes and buries her face in her hands when she blows a line. Before the camera she becomes so intense her stomach often rumbles nervously. Currently occupied as the saloon tart in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, she reports: "It's a nice change. You know, in Hollywood it's like being in a cage; they thrust the parts through the bars, and you take what they give...
...social lag in the personality of a widower, Dr. Axton Talley (Philip Merivale), who is a brilliant surgeon of bodies but scarcely even aware of emotional anatomy. He has nothing but anger for his daughter's adolescent radicalism, nothing but contempt for his son's inability to stomach the medical school dissecting room.

But finally his inability to move out of his insensitivity so alarms her that she breaks the engagement, leaves him to his steely bewilderment...

They gave orange juice to 15 subjects, took stomach samples after feeding. At other times they gave the same subjects equivalent amounts of 1) soft toast and tea; 2) rich milk. In all but two patients, the stomach acid averaged 75% higher after the orange juice than after the other diets. It looked as though ulcer patients should get their vitamin C from something else than orange juice. But the doctors...
