...young woman on the U. S. screen. Likely to be popular, because of its stars and a rapid-fire style in which Director Robert Leonard shows the influence of Frank Capra, After Office Hours contains one genuinely comic sequence: a lunchroom proprietor (Henry Armetta) working himself into a slow rage when his patrons comment disdainfully on his taste in radio entertainment...
...operatic rage of Soviet Russia was having its U. S. premiere by the Cleveland Orchestra, Conductor Artur Rodzinski and the troupe of White Russian singers which calls itself the Art of Musical Russia, Inc.

One article printed in groping English described a government that could ban the word "God" from the textbooks as "such ossy, ossy, phally, prehistoric boneheads...
...tenth time in as niany years the pulse of all musical New Yorkers beat faster last week. There was no new performer who had become the fashionable rage overnight, no gaudy advertisements, no fireworks. But a little grey-haired Italian had arrived in Manhattan again to conduct the Philharmonic-Symphony...
