...expect. Forced to abbreviate, to underline, to shade his story, Director Marion Gering managed to preserve in the picture the calm sympathy for persons innocently trapped in a dilemma which was the chief characteristic of Dreiser's book. Donald Cook, Sylvia Sidney and a character actress named Greta Meyer, in the role of an old cousin who takes care of Jennie's daughter, are perfectly cast. Good sequence: A policeman arresting Lester when, for a joke, he is pretending to be trying to scrape acquaintance with Jennie...

Then Louis Meyer of Huntington Park, Calif., winner in 1928, swung into the lead and despite frequent stops for gasoline held it for 185 mi. until the finish. As he spun steadily around the track and no more accidents happened, the crowd wandered about the grounds picking four-leaf clovers, swigging bottled beer...
...amazement of racing observers, Winner Meyer set a new record despite the frequent refuelings and track-clearing delays.
