Therefore he needed little preparation when he started out on his campaign on a platform opposing inflation, lotteries, Communism, crime, high taxes, war, and, above all, alcohol. Since he left his Manhattan home in June, he has traveled 25,000 miles in Pullman cars, visited 31 States, has only let five days pass without at least one speech.

Robert Montgomery, Eric Blore and Frank Morgan put on a screaming farce in "Piccadilly Jim," one of the funniest, cleverest light pieces of the current season. But whether you get it before, or after, or sandwiched between the asininities of "The Crime of Dr. Forbes" (starring Gloria Stuart and a number of other nobodies) your evening is damn near ruined...
