...Half Way Down", a play in one act, supposedly a curtain raiser, proves that at least one Radcliffe soul has found the sawdust path to salvation better than the primrose avenue to disbelief. Ann, a shop girl whose diction approaches Thirty Third Street to retreat to Park Avenue, meets Father Time in the ringed arena of keen dialectic, vide Bruce Barton, and wins by faith alone. "There is a God", she cries, and all the little birds fly home to their nests and old father sun winks at little Johnnie Skunk...
...speak disrespectfully of these loyalties; but they make Sir William's Toryism equivocal and they perhaps explain the shrillness of his note. . . .

A story not without significance, but florid rather than profound. The excellence of the film lies in its beauty, its brilliant visualization of fantasy...
...UNDERSTANDING HEART? Peter B. Kyne?Cosmopolitan ($2)* In that magazine-story paradise, the California redwood forests, where the sheriffs have hearts of gold, the women shoot like the late Annie Oakley and the manly forest rangers croon Kipling, Author Kyne sets another of his soul-satisfying yarns...
