...about make-up that actors, these days, rely all too much on the grease-paint and liner for their characters, whereas real art demands that the minimum be used--just enough to project the features--and the facial contours, shadows and high-lights of the character be brought out almost entirely by the actor's mental command of his muscles. See Mr. Lunt in the third act of "Meteor" and he seems on the verge of middle years, with his face lined by the lines of egocentricity. Notice him at the curtain call, when he is out of the character...
...other picture, "Three Live Ghosts", is one of the best balanced productions made since the advent of the talkie. By its very nature it makes no claim to being a great artistic endeavor, but it is almost perfect as entertainment. Movie directors would be doing a real service if they would unearth more pictures of the type of "Three Live Ghosts". Like good modern novels, they are very pleasant pastimes, even though we hesitate to claim for them immortality. Unfortunately they are just as rare as good modern novels...

Almost every statement made in the editorial appears to me to be erroneous or misleading. Marriott's Revolution of 1848 was in no sense a prescribed book, and every member of--the course was free to read something else on the same subject. Now that I know that all members...
...poor construction with good directorial coment.

Act III is almost worthy of Milne as we have come to know his fine abilities. Visually the production is admirable the stage settings and the lighting express the play beautifully and with taste...
...Russian government to restore or make compensation for confiscated property of American citizens, and third, the alleged participation of the Russian government in propaganda conducted in foreign slates by the Third International. In not exposing these reasons as the shallow mockeries they are, Professor Baxter is guilty of almost criminal negligence. The first is an attempt to make the Soviets appear a group of irresponsible brigands with whom orderly intercourse is impossible; as a matter of fact, they have simply pointed out the impossibility of talking debts with a nation that refuses to recognize the government it wants to talk...
