When "Madame Bovarv", the "Egolst", "Pere Goriot" can be treated adequately in fifteen minutes the world will have grown so avil speed that no alternative to this writing of radio povelettes will be allowed the author.

Possibly Mr. Lloyd was too well aware of the reliability of his material. He did not seem to strive as usual for novelty. It would be madness to say that The Freshman is not funny. Mr. Lloyd could be funny playing an undisturbed mummy. Simply this: The Freshman is not so funny as earlier of the comedian's adventures...
