There ought not to be any alimony laws of any kind because there ought not to be any alimony. The simple fact is that the vaunted female sex is basically parasitic. They want something for nothing, and see no reason for not getting it. Most women are supported by some man until they are married, and supported by some other man afterward. When they cut loose from the husband, why not let them go back to their families? Or get out, if their poor old fathers can no longer afford to keep them in the manner to which they...
...Story of Temple. Drake-although amply punctuated by shots in which the screen goes black to conceal everything except Director Stephen Roberts' prudence-is more effective than might have been expected. It is a dingy and violent melodrama, more explicit: about macabre aspects of sex than any previous products of Hollywood.

Where do they stand, these editors who damn at once the aristocracy, who pay their dues and take their D's, the middle class, who find their sex at Radcliffe and Wellesley, and the working classes, grade grubbers. In so far as it is discernible, their attitude seems to be that brewed at the tea tables of Brattle street and Shaler Lane, a prim pursing of the lips at the mention of kidnapping, deb-chasing or codfishing...
...evident that at the moment the Critic cannot arouse Harvard's overstuffed middle class from its lethargy. The last two issues have proved that the editors belong to this same middle class, "parasitical, living off other people's ideas," completely laking "the idealism of youth." Where they find their sex, will perhaps be indicated in the next installment. John P. Coolidge...
