...settings for Berkeley Square, venturing out of doors where the stage could not go, are excellent. Stage coaches, rural England, eighteenth century London chimes and cobblestones; all are true and unexceptionable. The Uptown has provided Charlie Ruggles, in a comedy of marriage and philandery, as a light and agreeable breather...
...Sally Eilers, she of the perfect profile, contributes nothing that has not been seen before and Norman Foster is just as ill-at-ease and boyishly ingenuous as ever. For those who spilled tears for "Emperor Jones" and his untimely end, "Walls of Gold" is recommended as a breather, because everything turns out rosy in the end. Ralph Morgan plays the part of the wrong husband and does a masterful job of being incredulously fiendish. A serious spectator might contemplate justified murder as the only dose of medicine to cure his high-handed treatment of the fair Sally...

...powered opponents is Yale's newly announced 1934 football schedule. The season begins with Columbia and down to the final encounter with Harvard there is a fine array of glamorous opponents including Army, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Dartmouth, without a single game on the roster which might be termed a "breather." This action is a radical reversal of the sedate athletic policy recently heralded at Yale, providing for a definite emphasis on intramural athletics...
