...subject of these eulogies is also something of a nine-day wonder to the G. 0. P. directorate as well, for he was the only Republican elected to an office higher than Representative in both the New Deal landslides of 1932 and 1934. On the record, Governor Landon might claim to be currently the Party's ablest vote-getter. Governor Landon's chief distinction, that of being a Great Economizer, has already been developed into a legend of frugality by his friends.

Mouthpiece of Japan's claims is the great Japanese Liberal, Count Michimasa Soyejima, insurance man and onetime Imperial Chamberlain, who claims that Benito Mussolini told him last February that Italy would withdraw in Japan's favor.

S. history, politics, social life, but nowhere establishes convincingly its subject's claim to originality, insight, achievement or potentiality...
...beauty of the scenery. As the cruel governor who tries to make slaves of the Swiss, Conrad Veidt is as impressive as always, but one wishes he were given more opportunity to act. His role is not the most important. William Tell is played by a Swiss whose chief claim to praise is the sincerity of his performance. With its many minor faults, the picture is particularly interesting in these days of the discard of civil liberties, for which the Swiss fought as have few other people in history...
