...cast, many of whom were members of the Republican Army, play their roles with such feeling and restraint that the feeling of creaky propaganda, too apparent in many epics of social struggle, is absent. As a result the picture possesses a dignity and artistic sincerity not often met with. Mr. O'Sullivan as the young patriot and Miss O'Connor as his fiancee are outstanding. The quality of the photography and sound lag a little behind that of the acting, but these can be learned from Hollywood, while fine acting cannot...
...contemporary literary reminiscences, Portrait-Painter Jacques-Emile Blanche pops in & out like some old friend who has been around for so long that nobody thinks to introduce him. As a result he has the unjustified obscurity of an oldster who is generally thought to have been dead a long time. He is in Mabel Dodge Luhan's memoirs and Arnold Bennett's diary.

...that government. Communists who admit that validity of this principle would apply it to Fascists; Fascists would apply it to Communists; most people would apply it to both. But practical people would oppose the action of the legislature because they realize that the overthrow of American capitalism would probably result from something a trifle more serious than the appointment of a communist to the key position of confidential examiner in the office of the Borough President of Manhattan...
