...Getter (Warners) revives Cappy Ricks, amiable curmudgeon of magazine stories by Peter B. Kyne, in the person of Comedian Charles Winninger, whose specialty of impersonating vaguely nautical characters was developed on stage and screen in Show Boat. The danger of an old stand-by like Cappy Ricks is that even 1937 cinemaddicts, with their amazing willingness to lap up stale treacle of all sorts, are likely to find him a little too outmoded. The device used to circumvent this possibility in The Go-Getter is the elaborate but effective one of opening the action with the 1935 wreck...
...work in the Cathedral's 91 classrooms and 119 laboratories, this ceremony was only Chancellor Bowman's way of spurring wealthy Pittsburgh to further contributions. He has already raised some $22,000,000 for his university and wants $10,000,000 more, is so determined a money-getter that he has become a Pittsburgh legend.

...best infield in the league. But the outfield is at best erratic. The veteran Jim Sullivan in right is only an average batter and a good fielder. One of the surprizes of the season is the sensational play of Mal "Buster" McTernen in the centerfield garden. Always a go-getter, McTernen has become the hitting star of the recent games with St. Johns and Northeastern. Russ Allen, football captain-elect, at present holds the left field assignment, but either Grondahl or Bob Gannett might be switched to that position in an attempt to strengthen the team...
