...Add to this phonograph records shattered over heads, beer cans galore, a bottle of potent Yukon "Cutchaw," and you have, as "The Puritan's Progress" had, material for any number of Harvard House plays. It is profane, original, and as modern as the Daily Record, in whose columns it might well run as a serial story. Which is just about what a good House play ought...
...nervously awaited the word of the President. The latter stilled the already insufferable stillness. "My arm is ready," was all he said. And it was enough; he might well have added that his throwing wing was "loose as gooseberries" or any other more dramatic announcement. But the newsmen could add all that.

...girl secrets. But the sentiment is seasoned with humor-as, indeed, the whole film is; Charles Winninger, a hopelessly absentminded Wall Street begwig, is constantly funny, and Deanna herself, in the course of straightening out her sisters' affaires du coeur, upsets the conventional applecart on many a delightful occasion. Add to this the music--which, this time, included "The Last Rose of Summer"--and the whole is well-worth the holdover which, we have on good authority, is scheduled...
