...Pretense select a jury of frightened white rabbits, parrots, and a sleepy possum that could not think what his name was. The judge, also dozing, is bound in red tape-red ribbons as Alice calls it. A very cross examination is interrupted by more news: PRIZE BEAUTY SLAYS LOVE MATE WITH ICE PICK AFTER JAZZ PARTY IN RICH NEST, and Alice's trial is over. Alice is advised to go into vaudeville, or write her Life Story, on the strength of her recent publicity, but she goes to W7ash-ington instead, and comes very near making hystery...

Victor McLaglen, who, in his ususal manner cuts an impressive figure as Spike Madden, the chief mate of a merchantman, does not, exactly speaking, have a girl in every port. But at least he makes strenuous efforts--with the aid of his little address book--to find one at every place his ship drops anchor. Obviously, this quest, made fruitless by the activities of another sailor who precedes him by a day or so in each port of call, does not make for unity of plot. In fact the picture...
...danger that such broadness should prove superficial or produce a vaguely theoretic sentimentality should be effectively removed by the requirement of a thesis and individual research in a chosen aspect of the work. The Field of Sociology and Social Ethics, thus reorganized and widened, is a welcome and worthy mate of the present fields, and takes its legitimate place as a subject for the consideration of the Freshman class...
