...having a great amount of billboard space and literature donated by friends: "Perhaps I do have more literature than you, more billboards, more radio time. Perhaps I have more friends." Columnist Ford had his harshest words with his fellow columnist when a batch of obviously faked circulars bearing a red hammer & sickle and purporting to be an official Communist endorsement of Candidate Ford were dropped on the city from an airplane...
Rugged individualists like most Spaniards, the Barcelonians have decked their buildings with many a discordant banner: the five-barred red-&-yellow flag of Catalonia, the red-yellow-&-purple of the Valencia Republic, the red flag of Communism, the black-&-red banner of Anarcho-Syndicalists.

Two more sticks merged...
...order. Taking a subject about which everyone has speculated—the financial insecurity of old age—the picture examines the case of Barkley Cooper (Victor Moore) and his wife Lucy (Beulah Bondi). Adapted by Vina Delmar from Josephine Lawrence's novel, directed by Leo McCarey (Ruggles of Red Gap), the story is presented with rare cinematic honesty. It is acted by Victor Moore, in his first serious cinema role, and seasoned Beulah Bondi, with that effortless perfection which, because it can come only from long experience, all younger actors lack. The result is one of the most persuasive documents about...
