...Farmer Takes a Wife" is pleasantly quiet. It is essentially an idyllic love story concerning Janet Gaynor and Henry Fonds, but the triteness of plot is relieved by the varied minor characters and by its background, the Erie Canal in Pre-Civil War days. The conflict between railway and canal, the lure of western emigration, and the farmer's love of the land are all presented calmly but with force...
...likely to be applied by most League States. To the chagrin of loyal Leaguophiles, famed "Proposal No. 5," the only active Proposal, under which League States would assist each other to compensate for losses incurred through application of sanctions, had not been ratified last week by Britain.

"I always say," he glowed, "that I'm 67 years old and 25 years young. ... I only eat when I'm hungry : sometimes...
...Glory is most interesting in its accounts of battles, of strategy and the arts of war. When Mr. Austin's Napoleon plans a flank or breaks all the rules by storming a bridge, he seems a real character. When he soliloquizes about his dreams of conquest or his love for his wife, he becomes an awkward myth of history.
