Director Michael Curtiz keeps his picture off the ground by his comic talent supplied by Guy Kibbee as the country doctor and the doc's fiancee of twenty years, Margaret Hamilton. Mona Barrie and the amiable Fuzzy Knight do creditably in somewhat conventional supplementing roles...
...resounding click of the camera and the somewhat more violent flash of the bulb are rapidly becoming familiar disturbances to the formerly pacific routine of daily existence. Basing its policy on the age-old concept that the little things in life are after all the most important, Life Magazine has commenced to invade the home, the theatre, the dance floor, and many less agreeable places where these little things may be seen to crop out.

Holding out for still higher pay, however, Detroit sailors last week were stubborn enough to cause an appeal for Federal mediation. At Hamilton, Ont., 235 longshoremen struck for a new 50?-per-hour contract. Somewhat alarmed over these signs of the times on the lake front, miners and steelmen in Duluth began considering what had never been considered before-the possibility of shipping iron ore east by rail...
