...little short of criminal to put Charlie Ruggles--at his ladylike worst--on the same program with "Dawn Patrol," and the news reel needs editing badly; but when that is said, adverse criticism of the bill now at the University should stop. There may be some who will disagree with the theme of "Dawn Patrol," for it is pure isolationist propaganda, but there can be no one to say that it is not well done.

An exciting moment came when Mrs. Roosevelt, leading a reel with her brother, tripped on her train and tumbled over backwards...
Thanks for Everything (Twentieth Century-Fox), not to be confused with Thanks for the Memory (see p. 22). explodes the theory that a genuinely funny story would be out of place in musicomedy. Instead of a show-girl heroine who gets her name in lights in the last reel, it presents, without apologies, the sad case of Henry Smith (Jack Haley) of Plainville, Mo., winner of a $25,000 prize for the Average American...
