...seven Senators, 89 Congressmen. It has no patronage to speak of. In place of able Mr. Farley it has brash Mr. Hamilton, whose talents, whatever they may be, have not had a chance to develop in the atmosphere of stale controversy which has surrounded him since 1936. One more thing which the G. O. P. has and the Democrats have not is a Committee of 200 to draw up a Program.

We have heard that the film is a travesty on history, but it is doubtful if Mr. DeMille could better have satisfied the great American public than with this magnificent piece of nationalism...
...Only Young Once," the co-feature, concerns the familiar homey family, but this time the whole thing is done so well that the result is delightful. Mickey Rooney is perfectly cast as a sixteen-year-old who travels the rocky road to romance, and Lewis Stone is well-night perfect as his understanding father...
