...band played its music as I did from such things as Lunceford's rendition of the Beethovan Sonata Pathetique. The band puts on a terrific show, plays an easy bounce style of dance music, and has excellent soloists. Jimmy Young (trombone) ranks in the top three. Paul Webster (trumpet) is recognized as the highest in the business. Willie Smith and Joe Thomas can play sax for anybody's all star swing band--in short, this is a band of a kind that you very rarely hear, and it's fronted by a man with enough personality, brains, and musical ability...
...spring of 1929 a gangling, 16-year-old kid, with a Daily Racing Form bulging out of his coat pocket, ambled around the grounds at New England's fashionable St. Paul's School, taking bets on the Kentucky Derby. He was Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt Jr., whose father had gone down with the Lusitania.

...Alone (Warner Bros.) is a somewhat overlengthy, overwordy picturizing of James Hilton's cheery little novel of that name in which the only two pleasant characters get hanged. As an absent-minded young doctor in a small English village, Paul Muni (with a phony English accent) has a chance to act in mufti for a change, instead of doing one of those great impersonations (Pasteur, Zola, Juarez) in which he is aided by overmetic-ulous makeup and fussy mimicry. The doctor spends most of his spare time trying to keep his strict, pious, headachy wife (Flora Robson) from nagging...
