...slight, irrelevant and disappointing an approach to a noble theme that we have ever read. There is no depth, no irony, only a flat-chested humor of the most nasal resonnance.

His shock and grief at losing his money were exceeded only by his vexation at learning he had become involved in a liquor business. He sold his stock at a loss and, last week, wrote a letter of protest to the New York Curb Association...
Curb officials were unmoved by Mr. Dyer's plight. They thought they smelled some kind of Prohibition plot. Mostly they marveled that one so wise as the Number Two Man of the nation's great House Judiciary Committee, and a Man from Missouri at that, should have speculated ignorantly upon the Curb, and gotten pinked...
