...burden of lifting the average of the present issue above the level of discreditable mediocrity falls entirely upon the efforts of Mr. Walter Edmonds and Mr. B. N. Parker Jr., who, with a short story and a poem respectively, redeem the sheets from the come-on-fellows-and-lets-get-together standard of prep school journalism.

College is a waste of time for many students; for a purely business career it has few practical uses; those who come for social reasons are an unmitigated evil.

Caught in the Fog (talkie) is an uneasy and mildly sarcastic attempt to parody Crook Cinema which, in various disguises, has constituted nearly half of the recent output of Hollywood. Lots of crooks, including May McAvoy, a lady crook, sometimes dumb, sometimes stabbing into speech, come through Florida fog to a deserted houseboat on which the mother of a millionaire's son has left a pearl necklace worth $200,000 in cinema money. Boob detectives supply most of the comedy and Conrad Nagel's voice the best vocal sequences of a gentle melodrama which is parody only...
