...feel the same toward that flat-bottomed mud-splatterer of TIME as for the man who kicks my mother in the teeth. I would treat him the same. TIME has been getting by too long with stalking the Church, always ready to deliver a stab in the back. It has not the guts to come out in open opposition. The Church is aroused slowly, but when she does act, look out. The Catholics of San Francisco will take care of the News; the Catholics of the U.S. will take care of TIME...

...nearest bar as soon as the show was finished. Dorothy Lamour looks a little strange in pinafores, after sarong in sarongs, but she is able to fill a pinafore and her part quite adequately. Not to be outdone by Miss Hutton, she takes a reasonably well directed stab at a drunk scene and gets thoroughly stinking playing Hungarian dancing games...
