Good News makes a rattling good musical show out of the ways of Joe College as known to perfect strangers. You see him bursting into sorority houses, hornswoggling the Frosh out of his allowance, necking the co-eds on the steps of the lecture hall. All the joy has fled the campus of dear old Tait, according to the plot, because the star halfback, Tom Marlowe (John Price Jones), has flunked his astronomy just before the opening chorus, two days prior to the intercollegiate crisis with Colton. The heroine, Connie Lane (Mary Law-lor), tutors him for a make...
...Vanzetti and some press representatives called at a small house in Torre Maggiore, Italy. An old man, Michele Sacco, had been sitting motionless in a corner of this house for days. A younger man, Sabino Sacco, met the early visitors at the door, scanned their faces, burst into tears, fled to his father. The old man stiffened, screamed, fell back muttering maledictions.

For some reason Hiram's wife, Rebecca, believes in life-weary Edsel as the ambassador of a richer existence. After the bucolic Hiram has fled his shame, she stays on until Joe, cowshed philosopher, reminds her to leave for greater conquests. Gene Riminy, wastrel squire, and his mad, illegitimate Yolande furnish further confusion to a fantasy in embarrassingly amateurish water colors...
...press you have devoted columns and columns to Lindbergh, Byrd, Chamberlin and other Nordic flyers. To Levine you have grudged even the iotas of space required by sheer force of his importance. This looks like discrimina tion to me. Is this discrimination? I think it is! Mr. Levine has fled the unfairness of the newspapers of our country. It has been an added discouragement in the face of already drastic odds against tricky Frenchmen who will not honor a contract and hold to it after signing. Then too he has felt uncomfortable about landing in his own New York...
