...Editor, that Senator Chavez' ancestors were upon the American continent, that is now the United States of America, prior to the time that your forefathers were here. . . . This reflects no discredit upon you, or anyone else, as there are thousands of loyal American citizens who cannot trace their ancestry to the early Spanish colonists in the Southwest, or to the noble American colonists of Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. . . .

But once Vernon and Irene are happily married, the sad curse of a story without "boy seeks girl" throws the picture into dreariness. To recapture some trace of excitement, the standby for heart-three--the World War--is sensationally exploited and used especially to play on the audience's martial sympathy Vernon's tragic death in an aeroplane clash is sentimentalized to the point of insincerity. Ginger Rugers is perfect on the dance floor; in tears...
