...nonsense in this is that Canada's Federal Cabinet alone could take the drastic measures against C. I. O.-such as total exclusion from Canada - which "Mitch" wants to take and talks as if he had taken. In fact Premier Hepburn is not standing and cannot "stand right on top" of C. I. O. unless ultimately he should become Prime Minister of the whole Dominion. Today an estimated 20,000 Ontario toilers have C. I. O. affiliation and are unmolested-but gusty, voracious "Mitch" knows how to sound as if he had eat them alive...
...Professor Lips does not go off the deep end with his late eminent countryman, Oswald Spengler, who prophesied an onslaught on Europe by a black horde led by white adventurers.

Last week in her second picture, her first starring role, Songstress Durbin underlined the fact that in her Universal had found its most valuable property and an A-1 box-office attraction...
...sort of unflagging belief in third-rate melodrama, Mayerling is helped toward verisimilitude by the accuracy of its baroque Viennese trimmings, and by the excellent representational music of Arthur Honegger. More serious cinemagoers, however, may wish that the story had come a little closer to grips with human fact, if only by cribbing the moral that Playwright Maxwell Anderson set to the tale in his Masque of Kings last winter: that to rule brutalizes.
