Larry Clinton has taken the best parts, discarded the less valuable elements of "Reverie," and superimposed upon it the modern idiom of swing with superb effect. The result is the happiest since "Martha" took a new lease on life at the hands of swing and Connie Boswell. True, the subtle swaying rhythm has been sacrified to the accented rhythm of jazz and the chorale theme has been dropped; but the refreshing lack of a melodic sense of direction inherited from the original produces the most enhancing effect yet achieved in swing...
...Tobin, one of the few New Dealers on the council, in the last two Presidential campaigns served Franklin Roosevelt on the Democratic Labor Committee. As a result of his efforts last week, President Green was noticeably less militant than at the start of the convention. Invited to walk through A.F. of L.'s "open door" were C.I.O. textile, automobile, garment and oil unions.

...gags of press agents are always good for another picture when Hollywood production schedules are lagging. Latest edition of this stock subject is "Garden of the Moon." Even the angle adopted here, the creation of a fake Indian maharaja to help plug an unknown orchestra, is anything but the result of a brilliant inspiration. Fortunately, the action frequently moves at a fast and funny pace; but equally unfortunately, the humor is invariably of the delayed reaction type, where the butt of a wisecrack absorbs it five minutes later. Pat O'Brien, who makes a startling reversal of type by playing...
