...welcomed by the College with open arms. But that this course heralds a return of religion to any part of its former importance in education is not likely. True, President Eliot's theory of specialization seems to have passed its zenith, but even though broader fields of concentration may come in the near future, there is no sign that theology will rank among them.

Poor little Orphan Connie (Deanna Durbin) is endowed with nothing in this world but a lyrical larynx and a gruff, rich uncle, who has supported her through the hardships of a swank finishing school.

Mr. Dies has become past-master of an art on which all strong-men depend. Rather than investigating, he is condemning. Newspapers have become...
