...Hostile Valley," Mr. Williams turns his facile hand to a tale of country folk in an isolated valley. His plot concerns the effect of one personality in disrupting an otherwise peaceful community and of the love of Jenny Pierce for Will Ferrin...
...installation of a conservative government. Villa learns of the treachery and returns to Mexico at the head of his rejuvenated army of peons and bandits. Pascal is ousted, and the liberal reforms accomplished. Wallace Beery as the much romanticized Villa, gives another of his gruff and lovable portrayals. The love interest is supplied by Fay Wray, and Stuart Erwin as the American reporter is adequate. Henry B. Walthall, who has appeared much too rarely since "The Birth of a nation" makes the gentile, idealistic Madero a vivid character. The photography and musical accompaniment are excellent, but the film is unnecessarily...
...Change of Heart the triangle becomes a rectangle, with matters complicated accordingly. To Manhattan seeking careers go four young college graduates (Gaynor, Farrell, James Dunn, Ginger Rogers).

Thus although he gives the Dutchman Willem Janszoon credit for discovering Australia in 1605, he spends more time with James Cook who sailed intrepidly jp the east coast of the continent and won it for England. Yet he admires great explorers...
...Mecklenburg deflates a good many of the supposed horrors and terrors of Russian life. Under Stalin religious persecution has cased. Free love is ancient history and divorce is becoming increasingly difficult:--at present the figures are not appreciably in advance of those in America. He notes the inefficiency of the Russian industrial plants--only two out of three automobiles will run out of the shop under their own power. But he thinks this inefficiency no worse than the unemployment of millions of men in the rest of the world...
