...sideshow being staged by the Harvard Economics Department (de facto) and the banks versus the Columbia Economics department (de jure) and the Roosevelt legend, I cannot help but conclude that the latter group has kept more than one step ahead of the former by conjuring up a lot of cardboard windmills, notably gold buying, silver buying, and in a sense, even the N. R. A. itself, to divert the attention of the "conservative" opposition while the really important recovery measures are being taken...
...page of statistics Yet that is the none too tacit admission of H. A. A.'s antics last week. If it is true, then H. A. A. would be well advised to cease an annual worry, to abolish the "News," and to print, in its stead, a handier, cheaper cardboard scorecard. If it is not true, then there is small defence for an unhandsome and elaborate system of secrecy. This system has existed too long. It has been without reason save of the most obvious sort.

...Princeton's Osborne Field House, Coach Fritz Crisler hung a large cardboard panel with the photographs of the Columbia players pasted in formation positions.

But even dour-faced Osgood Perkins as the tyrannical Brother Sganarelle and childish-voiced June Walker as his ward who is advised to "serve his meals all dank and sultry, and in between commit adultery" cannot make much of Moliere's empty comedy of words and cardboard characterizations.

She sends him to berate the suitor for his attentions, thus establishing communication with the suitor. The communication becomes more complete until...
...jinx on it. It is as funny as it is bawdily outrageous, and so neatly executed that you will not recall many individual lines. The comic elements in Sailor, Beware! are simple enough: "Dynamite" Jones (Bruce Macfarlane) is the deadliest love pirate in the U. S. Navy. He has cardboard boxes full of garters, duly tagged, to prove it. In Panama, however, lives a young lady named Billie Jackson (Audrey Christie) whose hard heart has gained her the sobriquet of "Stonewall." Dynamite's friend Barney organizes a big sweepstake, wagering his prized key-winding watch that Dynamite can overcome...
