...ideal that all are created equal is untenable. But all are entitled to equal rights, with attainments limited only by their own inherent qualities. It is highly unfair to judge individuals on a facial or group basis of any kind; individuals should be judged as individuals on their own merits. Those Negro students presented a significant tableau as they stood before a picture of Lincoln signing the emancipation proclamation, just after Congress had denied them the rights of American citizens...
Hell on Earth solves linguistic difficulties and makes its point by emphasizing the internationalized Negro, who speaks three languages, and the Jew who, having lost his voice in battle, must pantomime his thoughts. Played by Wladimir Sokoloff of the Moscow Art Theatre, the Jew provides good facial expressions when he helps the German (Ernst Busch) with his mending; good sounds when he bellows wordlessly to warn his comrades of a gas attack.

When Patcher-Together Jack Cohn sought to see II Duce in Rome, expecting praise, he was politely accorded...
...Romance (RKO). The problem child of RKO, Ann Harding, appears always in pictures which take the pulse of such throbbing questions as the double standard, woman's place in the home or how much a girl should tell her fiancé. This time she is a celebrated facial surgeon, successful in her profession but harassed by longings for Romance. She marries a playboy (Robert Young) whose chief interests are listening to football games on the radio and looping-the-loop, only to discover her mistake in time to patch up after an airplane crash the face of the girl...
