...whole cast of tenement dwellers are represented as drunken, excitable dunderheads who have small belief in, and no comprehension of, the patriotic rant they scream at one another. It is small wonder that Mr. O'Casey's unflattering portrait of Dublin Irishmen in the nation's darkest hour caused a riot when it was first produced...

A hefty, wrinkled-faced man, with a gruff manner and a heart of gold, he talked turkey to his patients, drove miles through the darkest weather to combat indigestion or bring babies into Salt River Valley.

Its sales not only bulged in May and June when all industries were booming, but afterwards, when other industries felt a reaction, it continued making headway. In darkest November it did 108% more business than in November 1932. And in spite of a two-month strike of tool and die makers, in spite of mechanical and style changes which seriously retarded the production of new models, the industry came into the New Year as if 1933 were...
