After these miner lapses, however, there is a rush toward better things. "The Criminal Record" guides the reader expertly through five masterpieces of 'tee' literature, and serves as a fitting prelude to the agony columns that have made the "Saturday Review" famous and may do the same for the "Advocate". The Personals and the Classified ads alone make this issue worth any man's, or, better still, any maid's, quarter.

Harlan miners, said he, average about $75 per month. Of this, 15% is deducted for rent on company-owned houses, fees to company-hired physicians, contributions to company burial funds. After an additional sum has been deducted to settle his accounts at high-priced company stores, the miner gets the balance in scrip good only at those stores...
...fatherly Actor Kane, to Author Wolfson, to Director Worthington Miner, to Producer Wilson (on his own for the first time without Noel Coward) and to a large, excellent and largely indistinguishable cast went critical acclaim unusual for the spring or any other part of the season...
