...Reformation (though this will be taken up by Dr. Potter's new course) has heretofore made a thorough covering of the literary aspects and general background absolutely indispensable in tutorial. Concentrators find that, aside from personal limitations of a few men, tutorial is presented in a satisfactory though uninspiring fashion, and a gratifying freedom of choice and quantity of reading is allowed...
...French airman's bomb blots out Kroysing. Bertin, nearly all his friends dead, sets out for the Eastern Front. An epilog shows Bertin in 1919 going to call on the Kroysing parents, to tell them "how their sons had died, and in how pitiful and futile a fashion; they must be made to understand that it was no deed of heroism or sacrifice, that had robbed them of two young men who would have comforted them in their old age; it was an act of villainy, and a stroke of chance."

This scene, funny though it is, is not quite enough to make The Moon's Our Home diverting for the hour and 20 minutes it runs. Following the fashion, critics will doubtless credit Dorothy Parker and Alan Campbell with the many knowing lines and pleasant minor touches, hold the lesser scribblers who worked on the picture responsible for such hackneyed characterizations as Henrietta Crosman as a termagant grandmother whose heart is secretly abrim with kindness and Charles Butterworth in his infinitely tiresome reproduction of an infinitely tired young...
