...Messrs. Hoover, Landon, Borah et al.- are not compelling personalities. G. O. P. had 17,000,000 votes at last count but these were able to elect only five Governors, seven Senators, 89 Congressmen. It has no patronage to speak of. In place of able Mr. Farley it has brash Mr. Hamilton, whose talents, whatever they may be, have not had a chance to develop in the atmosphere of stale controversy which has surrounded him since 1936. One more thing which the G. O. P. has and the Democrats have not is a Committee of 200 to draw...

Last week London play-goers had a chance to see an allegedly improved Cymbeline, by Shakespeare & Shaw...
Back in Circulation (First National) should please cinemaddicts who admire portrayals of brash reporters and nail-hard editors whose presses must be fed regardless of human cost. This time the brazen star reporter is a female named Timmy Blake (Joan Blondell). She loves her apparently unconcerned managing editor, Bill Morgan (Pat O'Brien). He loves her too but has no time for foolishness. Between the first sequence and the last, Joan Blondell swoops through a breathlessly foreshortened flight of pseudo-newsfalconry. She gets an innocent woman indicted for murder, flattens a leering lounger with a right hook...
