...from Mars last week, would have seen the clergy and congregations of the West becoming suddenly incensed against the statesmen of Soviet Russia who, for some twelve years past, have denied the existence of God or gods, and have steadily maintained that Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, called "Lenin," uttered a profound truth when he said: "Religion is opium for the people...
...This profound thesis is considerably diluted in a new drama by Britisher Norman MacOwan which substitutes sentimentalism and pasteboard glamor for the more rugged emphasis of the late great Thomas Carlyle. Actor Leslie Banks is introduced as a penniless Scotsman, living morally and thriftily in the garret of a bordello and studying to be an insurance actuary. Actress Helen Menken is a wan creature who faints on his doorstep. He befriends her to the extent of a bed, a portion of his gruel and the services of a doctor.

However, I have seen one or two fairly good-looking girls at Radcliffe". Ah, the blase air with which Mr. Dennis utters his profound observations! Lord Byron could hardly have written it more grandly. We understand, of course, that he has investigated the matter thoroughly, and yet--er--we wonder if he has ever tried to get a Radcliffe dormitory on the telephone in the evening? And has he taken into account the statistical...
