...Life of Emile Zola is an original treatment for the screen of the career of a great 19th-Century French novelist whose name will be less familiar to most of the cinema public than the great 19th-Century French scientist whom Muni characterized so successfully last year. It is not with Zola the novelist that the story concerns itself, but with Zola the man who blew the lid off the greatest political scandal of its time, France's famed L'Affaire Dreyfus...
Briskly directed by Brian Desmond Hurst and flavored by a pawky Irish supporting cast, Ourselves Alone will relieve U. S. curiosity regarding Cinemactor John Davis Lodge, the grandson of a onetime Massachusetts Senator and brother of a present one, who left the law for an acting career five years ago. After an un-happy series of roles in Hollywood climaxed when he appeared opposite Marlene Dietrich in The Scarlet Empress in a neck-length wig, vigorous, clean-cut Cinemactor Lodge seems to have found a niche in British cinema. So pleased were his producers by his work in Ourselves Alone...
Hornsby's uproarious career began when President Donald Barnes of the St. Louis Browns, of which Hornsby has been manager since 1933, announced to the press that Hornsby had been ousted, along with his coach, Charlie O'Leary, and a clubhouse boy named Milton ("Alabama") Delmas.

Parker, playing some of the surest tennis of his career, almost blasted Hare, wildly smashing and volleying, off the court (6-2, 6-4, 6-2). In what then amounted to an exhibition match, Donald Budge easily outplayed Bunny Austin (8-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3). Thus the Cup put up in 1900 by Dwight Filley Davis was returned to the U. S., for the first time since 1926, by the youngest U. S. Cup team in history...
...Lawyer Liebowitz ran for district attorney in Brooklyn, promising a vice cleanup. He was defeated by some 60,000 votes. Such causes as the Scottsboro trials, if of no elective advantage, may crown the Liebowitz career with a judgeship. As for the clients his talents have freed, not all have lived to praise him. Liebowitz sent "Mad Dog" Coll back into the streets. Brother gangsters wiped him out within a week. Convict Max Becker, missing the electric chair for the prison guard's murder, went back to face prison guards who did not forget. The electric chair burns...
