...Miami, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York, Omaha, Richmond, Savannah, Toledo, Tulsa, Saginaw, Stamford, Lima, Joplin. Durham, East Orange, Amarillo, many another city large and small. Half a hundred strong, they were ranged at long tables before the speaker's stand, they and their aides and emissaries, their bulbous noses and their pot bellies, for another solemn, straight-faced meeting of the U. S. Conference of Mayors...
Wiggins Trade School stepped into the entrance hall, bugged his eyes. Overnight the two upper corners of the panel had been painted in. On the right, flames were licking the smooth, bare bosom of a pensive goddess. On the left, a bisexual ogre with bulbous breasts was squeezing gold coins from the eye sockets of a skull.

And I say it is wrong that this man can control great organs of public opinion and circulate to millions his wild statements...
...start at home with W. C. Fields and his lads and lasses of the showboat in "Mississippi." We may be a bit biassed, but we must consider Bill Fields the most interesting item in any picture which is fortunate enough to be graced by his bulbous-nosed presence. When his main rival for honors is Bing Crosby, there should be little opposition to our prejudice. In "Mississippi" Fields is good--not quite as good as he has been, but still highly amusing. His lines show a little heavy-handed brushing over, but his voice and ingratiating manner are unchanged...
