...Department has survived, and with it those organizations which lend so much to the pleasure and prestige of Harvard life. Professor Spalding neglects no aspect of music here, happily complimenting the Harvard band and its great Leroy Anderson for their part.

The three-volume epic of Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea and Pitcairn's Island (TIME. Oct. 17, 1932; Jan. 15, 1934; Nov. 5, 1934), written from and for an amazing record, was not designed for neat conversion into a scenario. Despite the efforts of Producer Irving Thalberg, Director Frank Lloyd, three scenarists and $2,000,000 to give it balance, polish and direction, the picture lacks all three. There are intervals when the two hours...
