...Rainbow Man (Sono-Art). A new, independent producing company has probably fulfilled its intention of building a box-office success on the Jazz Singer formula around Minstrel Eddie Dowling. When Dowling's pal, an acrobat, is dying after a fall from a trapeze, he promises to take care of the acrobat's little boy and keeps his promise through some amusing and a number of saccharine episodes, a love affair, and recurrent Irish-tenor melodies. Best shot: the audience in the Arcadia Opera House. Best song: "Sleepy Valley...
...play itself would cause no exultation. But Ethel Barrymore acts the part of the jaded lovelady of Budapest who meets a sleek male counterpart. Ensues a mutual struggle against sentiment. Even in Budapest it is difficult not to care for the person with whom one has an affair, so after the child is born, a tremulous surrender to the exigencies and joys of affection occurs high in a Swiss chalet.

...facilities for being lazy, and laziness is fully as important as diligence, in its proper place. It's nice to sit in a cafe. It's comfortable. The go-getter stops panting. The world resumes its normal shape. You know, I like the way European cities take care of their people. The large parks, the wide boulevards, the sidewalk cafes! Say, it's nice to sit in a cafe and have something. If Prohibition hadn't interfered, California would be the greatest grape-growing region in the world, making better wines than France...
...There is nothing in this country that makes for its happiness, for the health of the rising generation, or for the health of woman in her later years, comparable to seeing that proper care is taken of her in her confinement. A great physician told me, recently, that if this were done in every case in this country he would close half of the women's hospitals in Great Britain. We have come to the conclusion that the maternity benefit provided by the National Health Insurance Act is not at present being administered to the best possible advantage...
