...academic finery as the South had not seen in decades. From rostra thundered Princeton's President Harold W. Dodds, Johns Hopkins' President Isaiah Bowman, U. S. Public Health Service Surgeon General Thomas Parran, American Bar Association's President Arthur T. Vanderbilt, scores of other bigwigs. No mere installation of officers had instigated all this big talk. Pedagogues and laymen had gathered to take stock of Education in the South. Excerpts from the inventory...
...surging music and the epic drama; but they lose themselves only temporarily in the make-believe of the Wagnerian fairyland. But in Adolf Hitler's Aryan Germany, that fairyland goosesteps up and down the streets in brown shirts. If Wagner, in his operas, sets will and strength above mere brains, thereby echoing the philosophy of his contemporary, Friedrich Nietzsche, his present-day German disciples have gone him one better.

...that circumscribe its people, The Dybbuk is important. As cinema it is tedious, technically crude, lacking in coherence. Here and there are pictorial groupings, interesting enough in themselves, but poorly related in the general clutter of hyper-religious abracadabra and the familiar hocus-pocus of third-rate melodrama. The mere mention of Kabala brings on thunder-and-lightning overtones; a departing soul is the signal for banging casements, flickering candles, fluttering curtains. Valiantly pushing its way through is a slender story of a boy (L. Libgold) and a girl (Lili Liliana) promised to each other at birth, driven to desperation...
