...Well, well, they're starting a little early this year, aren't they? . . . The offer of $25,000 for the Monster still stands. Of course, it must be alive, weigh two tons and be 40 feet long, and by all means it must be in good health. I don't want any ill monsters on my hands...

...defense of the redbud rushed two equally determined Oklahoma clubwomen. Mrs. Virgil Browne, president of the Interclub Forum, declared that the redbud and Judas tree "aren't technically the same," cited an Oklahoma City clergyman as authority for the simple fact that Holy Writ does not specify where Judas hanged himself.

...continue to think they have to serve up a piece of boring tripe as a second feature on every program, when the first would draw well enough, is beyond comprehension. The dish at the Loew's is triply unpalatable. It is a bad plot, full of silly situations which aren't very amusing, and too long. It is poorly acted by Robert Young and Ann Sothern; Young is one of these boys who finds that looking peeved, frowning, flouncing about and shouting too loud is the only way he can impress personality on you.
