...high point of the Christmas Scribner's is a critique on Thorstein Veblen by Ernest Sutherland Bates. Mr. Bates has been charmed away from the truth, one feels, by a romantic sympathy for the immigrant Scandinavian, for his racial humiliation by the native Americans of Minnesota and Wisconsin. This is supposed to explain much of Veblen's vitriol as a critic of the economic society in which he lived and of the leisure class which is its characteristic by-product.

...between the ranting bully of a captain (Colin Clive) and his admirable first mate (John Buckler). Criminally stupid or incredibly irresponsible, the cause of the fight is the captain's wife, the owner's daughter (Rose Hobart), whom the mate once hoped to marry. The two biggest racial groups in the crew are British and German, next biggest Scandinavians and "greasers." Audiences were ready to expect anything at the first act curtain. They saw the captain and mate patch up their quarrel. The German delegation defies all probabilities by asking the captain...
