...Fyffe's characterization of the vicious drunkard is superlative, but at other times--notably when he hands the precious cup over to Moore casually, as if it were a drink of scotch--it is very weak.

...graceful as the music it records and celebrates, The Great Waltz should charm most cinemaddicts, give opponents of swing their happiest moments of the season.

The deceased: King, a German shepherd, one of the two first guide dogs in the city. Reason for the fuss: King had been poisoned. Such a wave of sympathy followed King's death that Cincinnatians saw hope for a $10,000 farm where guide dogs could be trained (as at The Seeing Eye, Morristown, N. J.) to lead Cincinnati's 550 blind...
