This Is America. In the past five years there have been released in the U. S. more than a dozen travelog and animal films like Goona-Goona, Rango, Douglas Fairbanks' Around the World in 80 Minutes, through all of which ran a story's thread. From Russia have come nonfictional propaganda pictures (Turksib, Ten Days That Shook the World). The War Department and private producers have shown War films (Powder River, The Big Drive), and before that Emanuel Cohen of Pathe News exhibited a three-reeler called Flashes of the Past. Such was the meagre history...

But for a long time he had wanted to speak out about men, institutions and conditions in Latin America which have vexed him. His book turned from a travelog into a philippic. Lest readers doubt his competence to criticize he took care to detail that he has spent but 30 months of the past 31 years outside of South America. For 25 years he was physician & surgeon to mines, railways, sugar and rubber estates in various countries. During vacations he explored...

...Woman (Paramount) was apparently produced on the assumption that a picture containing both Claudette Colbert and Gary Cooper needs nothing else. As a result of this sad and typical mistake, the story is a tedious travelog in which Cooper, as the captain of a tramp steamer, and Miss Colbert, as nurse to a foundling whom the captain has picked up in a dory, voyage together from Central America to Manhattan. At the end of the voyage they are engaged. The foundling, an inarticulate urchin, gives a more sure-fire performance than either Cooper or Colbert. By crawling out on deck...
