...intelligent lyrics by Lorenz Hart and a book by that oldtime craftsman, Owen Davis, who makes up with situations what amusement he fails to supply in the conversation. Not the least in importance is its cast: Glenn Hunter, making his musical debut after years in adolescent "drama" roles; Inez Courtney, who has a gift for flip clowning; Charles Ruggles, an able farceur; Lillian Taiz, whose voice is uncommonly good; Joyce Barbour, who is not given nearly enough to do; and Cy Landry, a dancing droll...
Cynics of the baptismal font to the contrary, Edna St. Vincent Millay did not affect her lilting name, but she retains it in preference to her husband's, Eugen Jan Boissevain. A wealthy importer, he was previously married to the famed suffragist, Inez Mulholland. Miss Millay is proud of owning "the smallest house and garden in Manhattan" (Greenwich Village), though Thomas Hardy couples her with skyscrapers, "recessional buildings," as the two greatest things in America. She is coupled, further, with Edgar Allan Poe, as the only American poets to have attained translation into the Spanish...
...these two Italians, Nicola Sacco, had worked in a shoe factory and cultivated a garden in Stoughton, Mass., before he was sent to jail for murder, seven years ago.

To the child whom he has seen only on her visits to his cell he said: "It was the greatest treasure and sweetness in my struggling life that I could have lived with you and your brother, Dante, and your mother on a neat little farm and learn all your sincere words and tender affection. The same I have wished and love to see for other poor girls and their brothers happy with the mother and father as I dreamed...
...cases cited in Judge Lindsey's article read just like contemporary fiction-young people desirous of living together, and doing so, but unable to live out the economic and psychological implications of the present marriage code. "Fred" and "Inez," minors, thinking they had obtained an annulment of their marriage, secretly and joyously began living together again. "Katherine" and "George" were unable to stay in love when married since they took for granted they must impose restrictions upon each other-"marital jealousy being, as we all know, a cardinal virtue in our present marriage code though jealousy is demonstrably...
