...Batistafied election, finished grinding sugar at his central (mill) in Camagüey and turned up in Havana for "unofficial talks" with Dr. Gómez. That was exciting enough, but not nearly so much a sign of political spring as the news that onetime President Dr. Ramon Grau San Martin, who has been living in Miami since Boss Batista turned him out in January 1934, was proposing to return. Strong though General Menocal is, Dr. Grau, a deep Pink if not a real Red, is even stronger with the Cuban electorate, and Batista might welcome him back...
...movies come in for another does of ridicule, but the show is by no means squeezed into the narrow scope of merely laughing at the great, defenseless, adolescent industry. There is a Ramone Ramon (pronounced Ramone Ramone, John C.

Equipped with the determination of homing pigeons but utterly unable to fly, their efforts to get off the ground cause them to somersault...
...John Taylor: they are types, but convincing types. But in addition the whole performance possesses a unity and an activity rare in these productions; the scherzo established by the entrance of Stringer is maintained unto the final curtain. The part of Stringer is kept on the jump by Ramon Greenleaf, but gains nothing beyond its writing in his performance. An admirable sketch is supplied by Arthur Barry in the part of Bittlesby, who switches from effeminate efficiency to an entertaining attitude of merrily-we-go-to-hell-the-fake-is-falling-through, singing and dancing to "The Darng Young...
