...mountain folk who possess much more enthusiasm, much more humor, much less book-learning. One member of this second group is Jesse Stuart, 28-year-old author of Man With a Bull-Tongue Plow, a volume of 703 colloquial sonnets characterizing the poet's neighbors, sweethearts and kinsfolk. Another is Don West, six-foot radical poet released fortnight ago from the death cell in Pineville, Ky. jail where he had been held on a charge of criminal syndicalism. A third is Ed Bell, who last week published Fish on the Steeple, a rowdy, hilarious novel that captured the flavor...
...daylight out of him. Prather had him arrested for breaking into the postoffice. Clint went quietly until a "foreign" deputy put handcuffs on him; then he bided his time, made a break and got away. He would have been safe enough in the hills, hiding among his friends and kinsfolk, but soon he was not content to hide.

Here the Romanovs and some of their Windsor and Hohenzollern kinsfolk moved to stately music amid the white fire of diamonds. But now the bench of the Soviet Supreme Court dominates, draped with a coarse cloth, blood...
...first impression of the second scene, for here Mr. Oenslager had incorporated the most modern of ideas with a simplicity that was extremely charming. Man,--now grown to man's estate and married--is undergoing the pangs of poverty, and the visit to his humble quarters by kinsfolk seems to establish more clearly his state of utter want. In the part that follows, J. J. Collier and Miss Secoy did a really splendid piece of acting. Andreyev has unfettered his wings of imagination and let them soar at will. The ecstasy, the pathos, the stabbing joy of building castles...
