Author Dos Passos unwinds a rapid, impressionistic, five-reel cinema of his own U. S., from 1900 to the War. Of more ambitious scope tha Cineman David Wark Griffith's The Birth of a Nation...

It includes Poet Edwin Arlington Robinson whose Tristram was Peterborough-born, Novelist Thornton Niven Wilder (The Bridge of San Luis Rey), Playwright Du Bose Heyward (Porgy), Composer Aaron Copeland...
