...climactic, ridiculous night, when he finds himself challenged to a duel. Around him tragedies worse than his own are piling up. The headmaster's son has been shot; French troops have mutinied; there have been riots at the railway as the troops embarked for the front; the daughter of a town official has robbed her father and started for Paris; an embittered young soldier, wounded, has broken with his parents. In all of them, as in himself, Cripure finds more than adequate support for his belief that human beings are contemptible...
...every respect. Nee, Kessler, Jameson, and Booth on the right side of the line also played the best they have all year, Roberts, Wilson, and particularly McTernen, in the first half were responsible for Harvard's long march to the first touchdown. Roberts' passing under fire, and Don Daughter's reception were well nigh perfect...
...require realism, intertwining is done with remarkable skill. A journalistic slip so incenses Walter Connolly that in behalf of his daughter, Miss Loy, he sues the paper for $5,000,000 to be annexed to his other $50,000,000.

Nothing is too red for her then, until she is kidnapped by one who embodies all radicalism within himself; rescued from his predicament by a trio of splendidly-played burlesque G-men, and returned to the arms of her incredibly rich father, through with bolshevism...
Walter Connolly is excellent as "Million-Dollar-Wolf" Craig alternately roaring at and soothing his spoiled daughter, Belinda, played by Mary Taylor, looking even more charming than she does on the pages of "VOGUE." John Harvard presents a sensitive young idealist as Bus" Jones, the college communist. The best performance is that of Lionel stander, who will be remembered for his work in another Hecht and MacArthur film, "The Scoundrel." He fills the role of Muglia, Belinda's kidnapper, who can carry Lenin and Stalin in his coat pocket, and still have room for Karl Marx; the scene in which...
