...with only a little prefatory matter added as a sop to Moronia. Since the additions are in the style of the original tragedy, since O'Neill's play as it stood opened too directly in medias res, and since the emendations take advantage of the wider possibilities of the camera, the changes are an improvement on the legitimate play. Photography and direction, and excellent suporting cast and good music aid Paul Robeson's magnificent interpretation of the disintegration of His Imperial Highness, Jones...
...Chicago, onetime Heavyweight Champion Jack Sharkey, fatter and more surly looking than last July when he lost his title to Primo Camera, climbed into a ring opposite clownish young King Levinsky.

When the bemused female approaches he tones down his serenade...
...imagine how we felt? As a matter of fact, we didn't have time to think. Mother had her movie camera going all the time, and was standing back of me. Well, the elephant came and came and came, followed by the herd. Klein yelled at him, hoping to turn him, but still he came. I had one shell left in my double-barreled gun, and shot at his head. Klein and Pete shot at the same time. I was off my balance. . . . My foot caught as I stepped back from the kick of the gun, and down...
