...President's heart beat sympathetically as he heard the story of young Joseph Hall last month. Joseph had promised to take his girl to the Navy-Michigan football game, but he had no tickets; incidentally, he mentioned that he was the son of an Edgartown (Mass.) politician who was prominent when President Coolidge was Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. The President produced his own tickets, despatched young Joseph to Baltimore with his girl and a Secret Serviceman. He enjoyed the game, and was photographed heroically with Governor Ritchie of Maryland. Wary Boston police saw the picture, trailed young Joseph...

There is a father (Bruce McRae) who has ordered the hero-son out of the house for having loved the wrong girl, for having composed popular songs. The parent then falls in love with the girl himself, proving that the hero was right. On Fay Bainter's arch pouting and ogling rests the burden of entertaining the audience through three word-puffed acts...
...Story of Charles Darwin is not to be found here*. That was written once and for all by his son. Its bare outline is sufficient for Author Bradford's purpose: born in 1809 (the same day as Abraham Lincoln), son of a prosperous doctor, he attended Edinburgh and Cambridge Universities, gave up tentative plans for medicine and the clergy, obtained the post of naturalist on the cruiser Beagle, was gone five years observing and exploring, married his cousin (one of the pottery Wedgwoods) in 1839, conceived the principle of evolution of species through natural selection the same year, fathered...
