These observations are strongly supported by history, yet there are also in the existing situation many elements qutie unlike those of the period preceeding the last great War.

The first of these redeeming personalities is an old timer, just about as old as they come in point of service, none other than Harold Lloyd in "The Cat's Paw," a production adapted from a tale by Robert Louis Stevenson's modern counterpart in honesty, Clarence Buddington Kelland.

A crowd of prodigal sons who refused to come home, this Lost Generation was the self-consciously intellectual counterpart of the late U. S. phenomenon, Flaming Youth. Except for a few Peter Pans and a few suicides, these War Babies have now-grown up. In Exile's Return Malcolm Cowley takes a good look at his literary generation, admits "it was an easy, quick, adventurous age, good to be young...
