...Wendell Willkie lost his voice in his first overaggressive campaigning, the doleful predictions that the campaign would be the greatest story in U. S. political history by being its greatest flop. Behind them, too, lay the astonishing crowds. Ahead of them lay the trip over the mountains in flawless Western weather. And ahead of them lay the last weeks in which the issues of the campaign, despite candidates, crowds, arguments, would gradually be clarified...
...left hand side of the theatre Thursday night, George Kaufman must have been puzzled as to what ailed his latest production. He and Moss Hart acquired an A-1 cast for their play; John Root's setting was flawless; the audience was willing, nay, anxious to be amused; and yet the play failed to click.

As the ill-fated little ballet dancer who could do entrechat six (Nijinski could do ten), she dominates each scene with an almost flawless performance. Every half smile, every sidelong glance, every toss of her head, every movement of her hands makes the supporting cast sink further and further into a vague, formless background. But as for you, Mr. Goldwyn, by decking out Bob T. in that new trick mustache, you've shattered...
