...entertainment side, Miss Farmer's beauty, Mr. Arnold's laughter, Mr. Grant's clothes, Mr. Oakie's face, and the naive antics of post-Civil War Wall Street speed the picture's pace. Donald Meek provides an amusing if untrue underdog Daniel Drew. Hauntingly the refrain of "The First Time I Saw You" pervades the whole...
...unmistakable trade-mark of Ernest Bramah (E. B. Smith). His Kai Lung stories, which first began to appear 37 years ago and have been coming out at lengthy intervals ever since, have long delighted patient readers on both sides of the Atlantic.

...York critics have never been so appreciative of Werner Janssen's gifts. Though he is an earnest student, a meticulous conductor with a clean, unmannered beat, they find him immature, often maladroit in sustaining long passages, often given to inexplicable changes of pace. But Hollywood had little doubt of Janssen's worth. At the end of the concert they stood and applauded for seven minutes. Conductor Otto Klemperer said he was "overwhelmed." Forty-two hostesses invited him to their parties as guest of honor...
