• • Cairns Post wrote: The popular Mae West Paramount production, "She Done Him Wrong" features Miss West as the Bowery Darling who was faithful just as long as her diamonds held out. Mae West proves herself quite an unusual type of performer. She sings in a most unusual manner "Frankie and Johnnie" and "Haven't Got No Peace of Mind." Included in the cast are Cary Grant, Owen Moore, Noah Beery, and Gilbert Roland.

• • Mae West's latest picture, "Klondike Annie," has been fiercely attacked by the numerous publications owned by William Randolph Hearst, American newspaper magnate. There are said to be personal reasons behind the attack, which is on the ground of decency. The Hearst papers declare that "Klondike Annie" is an outrage on public morality, and as a consequence, the picture is said to have had something of a boost in the United States.

Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.
