...crackpot, but he is inordinately vain. He has not made a livelihood of scandalmongering; he has written because he was hurt. He is not an atheist; he is disgusted by commercialized religion. He is "not a "free-love"' cultist; he is an ascetic. His soft manners, his kindly eye, his intense, humorless and uncritical idealism, his obsession with the struggle of Labor and Capital for the fruits of Industry mark him for the archetype of old-fashioned Socialist. Yet the Socialists have outgrown him and Grade A radicals believe that if EPIC is given a trial, its failure will...
Suppressor was Premier Alejandro Lerroux, sole old-style Republican in Spain's Rightist Cabinet of Catholics. Monarchists and Fascists. Like Britain's Ramsay MacDonald, he is famed for his old wars on tyranny, for his soft and gentlemanly heart and. to the mind of Labor, for his betrayal of democracy.

But in the new Federal Building in South Bend, Ind., the process of spraying soft soap through a nozzle and having it dry before it falls engaged the million-dollar attention of a battalion of lawyers who represented four-fifths of the entire U. S. soap business. Brilliant Newton Diehl Baker led the mass-attack of Procter & Gamble (Ivory Snow) and Colgate-Palmolive-Peet (Supersuds) against...
...motherly, soft-spoken Mrs. Wiggs, Pauline Lord makes a promising debut into talking pictures, and she will no doubt fit well into the Marie Dressler type of role. The Wiggs children speak with similar accents, do not look at the camera, and are quite charming. True love is wholesomely portrayed by the winsome Evelyn Venable and Kent Taylor, who appeared together in David Harum. The affection of the pompous Mr. Stubbins (W. C. Fields) for Miss Bazy (Zazu Pitts) may be placed on a somewhat lower level, for Mr. Stubbins has to be lured toward the altar by the combined...
