...Min and Bill (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). This is better than most program pictures because it does not fit completely into any standard classifications. It is not a melodrama or a farce, but something between. Marie Dressier as proprietress of a boarding house on the wharfs, Wallace Beery as her star boarder and sweetheart, have some good lines. Sometimes they act competently and sometimes they burlesque with unconscious ludicrousness; particularly Miss Dressier who, made a star because of the extravagant praise given her for her work in bit-parts (TIME, July 28), has now kept on making bit-parts...
When Margot Einstein was married to Dr. Dimitri Marianov at a Berlin registry office, her father, Physicist Albert Einstein, said that he would attend the ceremony if it could take place in 30 min.

For every pound of marketable corn that the gleaners find left in the field the husker is penalized three pounds, for every ounce over five ounces of silks and shucks...
...flash, a moment of gameness was all that Princetonians asked of a team which since the beginning of the season had not beaten anybody except one minor opponent. Instead, scored on by a fluke field goal in the first two minutes, Princeton somehow became for i hr., 19 min. one of the great teams of the U. S. The heroes were the linesmen, led by Mexican-born Capt. Ricardo Mestres, who broke through to drop the great Yale backs, and Quarterback Trix Bennett who played without a rest, who scored the touchdown that put Princeton ahead at the half...
