...young men and women are sent forth to their sordid battle from the gates of our colleges armed with a sheepskin, a bundle of new desires, a few common-place rules of economics, and with hardly a trace of originality among them--an army of pygmies fresh from the mold. The procession is a sufficient commentary upon the general state of college education...
...Imitations, of course," suggested the dubious. "Originals!" thund ered Jules Mastbaum. The purchase, which involved a year's negotiations with the French Ministry of Beaux Arts and with M. Benedite, venerable curator of the Musee Rodin, includes The Thinker (one of the five bronzes cast from the original mold) and reproductions of Adam and L'Ondre from the group at Rodin's grave.

Are the older men never to drain the sweet...

There was a note of uncertainty in the original that reminded one of A Doll's House and gave the visitor a mental bone to gnaw. But the mentality of cinema audiences is not nourished on bones. They are supplied with oozing fritters drenched in the syrup of the happy ending. The story has to do with three generations of married life, with various reflections on modern youth. Eleanor Boardman is an acceptable heroine...
