...Harvard, earnest pacifists were overrun by "The Michael Mullins Chowder & Marching Club," a nebulous society dedicated to confounding all who take themselves seriously. Chowder Marchers goose-stepped through Harvard Square with swastikas, steel helmets, real machine guns. At the end of Peace Day student pacifist leaders loudly called it a complete success. Pacifists had been egged in Chicago, sprinkled in Los Angeles, laughed down at Harvard, ignored throughout much of the South and Midwest. But big turnouts in the East, despite a chilly rain, had raised the number of demonstrators almost to the 150,000 which Peace Day leaders...
...real aim, which is to be exciting. Its producers say what there is to be said on both sides, particularly the miners' side, with clarity, completeness and adult human understanding. Its subject may make Black Fury one of the most talked of pictures of the year. Michael Curtiz' direction and Paul Muni's superb performance make it one of the most worth-while dramatically.

Result is that he has practically cataloged in his first play the whole bag of tricks by which a woman gets her way. In fact, he has displayed them so conclusively that his audience is likely to feel that in awarding the final victory to his hero instead of to his heroine, Playwright Egan has turned in an extremely raw decision...
...fashion for gumshoes who, when they encounter corpses, malefactors and degenerates, enjoy a manic period of which wisecracks are the symptoms, started with The Thin Man. The Case of the Curious Bride is a less adroit, less original picture but the speed of Michael Curtiz' direction manages to create somewhat the same mixture of tension and amusement. Warren William, fast becoming Hollywood's No.1 exponent of deductive reasoning, is aided enormously by Claire Dodd in her first cinema performance as a nice girl...
