...This lyric was personally composed by Commander Locker-Lampson, son of English poet Frederick Locker, maternal grandson of the late Sir Curtis Lampson, Bart., a Vermonter, said to have been the first American ever made a British baronet. The music for Commander Locker-Lampson's patriotic song March On! is from the British Gaumont talking film High Treason...
Ladies' Man (Paramount). Rupert Hughes got a fancy price for screen rights to his novel, serialized in Editor Ray Long's Cosmopolitan, but this little story might just as easily have been adapted from the drooling lyric of the current foxtrot, "Just a Gigolo."

...coherent entity. Such long narrative poems must be more than a collection of vivid images to make a lasting impression on the reader. The undiscriminating bunches of images and short imaginative flights so often strung into a narrative of sorts would be much better chopped up into separate lyrics. They need to be strongly and vigorously subordinated to the central motif so that they do not stand out as an occasional flashing jewel on a wire but, as Mr. Morrison succeeds so well in doing, they should appear as integral and inseparable parts of the whole poem. It is true...
