Dangerous Paradise (Paramount). In the masthead of this film the producers announce that it is "based on incidents from a novel by Joseph Conrad," a guarded statement obviously intended to divert the criticism which, based on incidents from Dangerous Paradise, would be leveled at them if they admitted that the novel was the famous Victory. As a matter of fact the picture is no more unfaithful to its material than other, franker attempts to make scenarios out of Conrad's books.

Says Critic Henry Seidel Canby: "Joyce is a pioneer in the technique of the stream-of-consciousness novel, and very influential. His books, however, lack the control of a great artist." Says Editor Ellery Sedgwick (Atlantic Monthly)'. "In Ulysses Joyce made an original contribution to tragic literature, highly stimulating to conscious writers of subconscious fiction." Controversy still rages about whether or not Ulysses is really obscene. Joyce...
...field of motor manufacturing is sparsely occupied in comparison with the academic grove. The rivalry among educators was never so keen as it is today. In no other country do so many institutions try to attract students--the sad experience of "Jude the Obscure" in Thomas Hardy's overpowering novel seems hardly possible in the United States. From the time when a child is ready for kindergarten until and A.B., he enters a graduate school, he can pick and choose his institution, if one has not already picked and chosen him. Some may reject him, but others will welcome...
