Grinning toothily, waving a crumpled hat, shouting "bully" as much like his father as possible, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. has participated in every national campaign since 1920. That year, campaigning in the West, he flayed the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his sixth cousin, as follows: "He's a maverick! He doesn't bear the brand of our family." In 1924 when "Teddy" was running for the New York Governorship, "Frank" returned the compliment by flaying his remote relative's "wretched record" as Assistant Secretary of the Navy during the oil scandals. At that point...
Down to Earth (Fox) is a typical Will Rogers comedy. The chief charm of his pictures lies in the easy, colloquial garglings of Funnyman Rogers. Rogers is Pike Peters, an Oklahoma oil nabob who tugs darkly at his sloppy felt hat while he contemplates his wife (Irene Rich), who loves giving lavish parties, and his son (Matty Kemp), who buys a $17,000 Rolls-Royce second hand for $9,000 and tells his father that he has made $8,000 profit.

...grandstand is "Pop's" ungainly figure striding across the field with his colored starting flags tucked under one arm?red for "all clear," white for "go," checkered for "last lap." Usually he has a cigar in the side of his mouth, always he wears a ten-gallon hat, even when he flies, which he does with grandmotherly caution...
...Shelly, 76, swung on to his horse, fixed a shiny oldtime stovepipe hat on his head, put a perky cigar in his mouth, and posed for a moment. Except for frock coat and saddle medicine bags, that was the way he rode into Mulvane 52 years ago, a year after its founding. Laughed he last week: "I had 45? in my pocket then." Now he has a big house in Mulvane, a wife and four children (the son is Dr. Hargus Gerard Shelly, 51, of Wichita), and a practice which still requires night calls...
