...their way to the University Theatre this week are not likely to applaud the talking film as heartily as they would if they had never met the boy before. The engaging qualities of Booth Tarkington's book do not lie so much in the plot, as in the subjective treatment of a small boy's world and the wistfully humorous sketching of puppy-love.

An example is the story of the rise & fall of starched collars as reflected in the glorious reign and ignominious fate of the Arrow Collar Man -"a national idol who never lived." A chart showing the tumble of starched collar sales from 1919 (the advent of the soft shirt) is surrounded by colored reproductions of Artist Joseph Christian Leyen-decker's unbelievably handsome creation at critical stages of his career from the "merry Oldsmobiling" days of 1907 to the present.
