...Warners, formed a new company called Twentieth Century Pictures, Inc. to release films through United Artists. A morose and timidly salacious study of the life and loves of a saloon keeper's daughter (Barbara Stanwyck), it shows her flirting to get a job in a bank, rolling an eye at the department manager, arousing the lower nature of the cashier, finally having an affair with the vice president. The cashier shoots the vice president and himself, leaving Lily Powers to marry the president. Most spurious shot: Lily's change of heart in the last reel- when...

...view that political rather than intellectual timidity led the two speakers to bury their necks in sand is substantiated by the purely negative but clear-eyed pessimism of the two corresponding poets, Mr. MacLeish and Mr. Hatch. But one can scarcely escape the conclusion that the speeches were unfortunate. To the man with half an eye to fundamentals they were confusing; to the "floater" they will appear thorough.
