Viewing the production itself, one must accept the fact that Sidney Howard, the author, made no serious attempt to sweep his audience off its feet. The violent emotions of fear, hate, and rage, that Harvard's eminent Dr. Cannon has so well described are permitted to lie dormant. Effects are obtained by the presentation of agreeable and familiar types, involved in situations which bring out character and comedy...
...Chicago, the President put in two days arranging a conference between captive mineowners and striking miners (see p. 12). He left to General Johnson the task of opening the NRA "Buy Now" campaign, while Mrs. Roosevelt and daughter started a little recovery campaign of their own by promising to accept from a Manhattan manufacturer the first two ladies' coats with NRA tags sewn in them, to prove they were stitched under the coat & suit code...

...among the Houses, but it is the worst. The tutorial staff of the House is getting free rooms and free dinners in return for a service which it makes not the slightest attempt to fulfill.
