...simpler scheme than Miss Thompson's for getting Jews out of Germany, and one already in use has been discovered by German Jews themselves. Every day dozens of Jews file into U. S. consulates and offices of U. S. firms to pore over New York City and Chicago city directories. From these they copy addresses of U. S. Jews to whom they might be related, hoping that letters to the U. S. will bring new-found relatives and sympathizers willing to arrange their passage...

Capra's is a certain kind of peculiarly American, peculiarly kinetic humor, in which the most individual characteristic is an extraordinarily adroit and constant use of "business" to accent the comic line. Unlike Gregory La Cava (Stage Door) or Leo McCarey, whose The Awful Truth took top honors for direction at the Academy this year, Capra has no interest in jokes whose appeal is touched with neuroticism. He is sufficiently versatile to have made a successful picture...
