...companion piece to this moralizing talkie is "The Trumpet Blows". George Raft is featured as the Mexican matador who at heart is yellow. His East Said diction seems out of place in this picture of Mexican life and as usual he demonstrates his inability as an actor. Better cast is Adolph Menjou who plays his brother. Both men fall in love with the rhumba dancer Chulita, played by Frances Drake, and around her the story is centered. The piece is very mediocre but may appeal to those who like bullfights and vampire-like women...

Could there possibly be any connection between this Californian or at least Kosterian changed attitude and the fact that both Mexican and Negro labor is becoming unionized...
...Schneider Creusot or some other member of the Comite. This precaution did not, however, prevent most of these loans from being in default. Coming to the present, said M. Faure, "we find M. Schneider arming Bulgaria, M. Schnelder arming Turkey, Skoda supporting Hitler, France-Japanese, Franco-Argentine, and Franco-Mexican banks. This is fall"--he ended with a masterpiece of moderation--"extremely suspicious." Then, having made these revelations, M. Faure shortly after found himself defeated for reelection to the Chamber; he was, after all, a deputy from the Creusot district, and M. Schneider found it more convenient to bring about...
