...civilization," the lives of the railroad workers, and the machinations of big financiers behind the scenes in Washington--is vividly portrayed. Technical superiority, shown particularly in the handling of minor characters, has produced an authentic background; Akim Tamiroff, as a virile plug-ugly, is outstanding. To be sure, as much cannot be said for Joel McCrea and Barbara Stanwyck, who are pleasant but unnecessary; nevertheless, by virtue of the skill with which a worthwhile tlicme has been handled, a convincing and certainly entertaining motion picture has been produced...
...Dixie trail on April 1. The Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Navy tens which faced the Crimson had been outdoors for over month; thus it was no surprise when they gathered a total of 33 points as against 0 for the players from Cambridge. The series, however, gave the squad some much-needed outdoor contact work, and, when they began outdoor workouts on the Business School Field after vacation, prospects for a fairly successful home season began to develop...
Although crushing Tufts, Stevens Tech, and M. I. T., the Stahleymen were utterly disrupted by the offensive tactic shown by Dartmouth. The expert passing and stick-handling of the Green players were too much for the defence, which was considerably weakened by the shifting of aggressive Norm Blotner from first defense to a midfield position.

This is a question of greatest importance to the musical public, for music is unique among the arts in its inaccessibility. Only a few highly trained musicians can read scores with as much pleasure as they get from a performance, and though recorded music has provided us with a few musical musecums, actual performances are still the chief means of bringing music to life...
...most discriminating intellectual interest in the music itself. Of course, these public demands are answered by corresponding types of musical supply. For instance, the concert of the Oslo University Chorus on Saturday evening catered frankly, and rather pleasantly, to the love which everyone has for ear-tickling vocalism without much fuss about the selection of the music itself. The demands of the opposite type are a little harder to satisfy, especially in the case of a professional musician who, though he may favor more discrimination and enterprise in the selection of his concert lists, is forced to conform...
