...than they had to be. Tallulah Bankhead, hungering for the fruits of wealth and waiting for her husband to die, performs to perfection the subtle shifting between cajolery and tyranny. Her two brothers whose ruthlessness is matched only by hers are done to a turn by Charles Dingle and Carl Benton Reid.

Some of the most notable Leftist writers of the day wrote for Villard: Norman Thomas, Stuart Chase, Paul Y. Anderson, Heywood Broun, Carl Sandburg, Theodore Dreiser, Carl Van Doren.
