Intervention was the first play he saw at "the Vakhtangov Theatre. It was a spy story laid at Odessa in 1920, when the Reds were fighting the Whites and practically everybody else in Europe. Every Moscow theatre group has its own hallmark. At the Vakhtangov the hall-mark is a slight caricature of impersonation. "Men with long noses have very long noses, women with large hats have very large hats, thin men are very thin, fat ladies are very fat. They are a little like characters of a Peter Arno album come to life...
Peoria. The Trial of the Obscene Picture Man was straight Good & Evil. Good was Mildred Hallmark, 19, pretty, self-respecting hostess in a cafeteria who had been found stripped, raped and murdered in a Peoria cemetery ditch last June. During last week's trial Midwest newspapers temporarily promoted her from a cafeteria hostess to a night club hostess, reconsidered, returned her to the cafeteria.

It matters not that his political creed was in violent opposition to anything of the kind entertained by most Harvard men then or now. Harvard is not concerned with his opinions, but with the spirit of a man who gave everything he had in support of what...
...Riskin, ably directed by Frank Capra (It Happened One Night, Lady for a Day), it becomes one of the most wisely amusing and genuinely original comedies of the year, an up-to-date sporting print with bright colors and clear lines. Difficult to analyze and impossible to imitate, the hallmark of Director Capra's style is his way of turning what for an other director would be a commonplace "gag"' into a vital and important incident. In Broadway Bill, he makes a shot of the Higgins family lifting their soup spoons with terrifying regularity show exactly why Dan Brooks abhors...
