...next to Vag, but who can really concentrate his interest when it comes to calling the plays. There's Frank, who, like Austie, is a real triple threat man every moment he is on the field. There's rollicking Ben, who learned many lessons in patience and persistence while waiting for Vern to graduate. There's burly Mike, whose fierce competition with Ben made both of them better men. There's big Ken, who looks so docile and lumbering but about whom enemy linemen have nightmares weeks before the Harvard. . . . There' little Nick, who had to wait for Russ...
...screen play, Franz Waxman's score and the acting of precisely the right cast combine to make it the wittiest and most civilized cinema comedy of the year. Good sequence: Colonel Carleton and his son, whose morning diversion is watching excavations, discussing Capital and Labor while they wait for the noon whistle to blow so that they can go to lunch...
When, after getting to know the Carletons on board a train, the lonely old lady applies her creed to her new friends and the Carletons apply their technique to her bank account, the results are as might be expected. The Carletons move into the Fortune mansion in London to wait for the old lady to die and leave them all her money.

Dr. Aaron went on to advise readers to avoid any cathartic pills that contain aloe, aloin (both somewhat irritant drugs), or strychnine; also any laxative chocolates, candies, chewing gums that contain phenolphthalein...
...only 1.34% or 358 cases showed positive results. This figure tallies very closely with the percentage of syphilis cases found in New Jersey and Connecticut tests. The figure is low, explained the Social Hygiene Association, because those who know they have the disease do not take the test, but wait until they are cured before being married. The percentage of positive cases represents persons who did not realize that they had syphilis. Hence the required tests not only did them a great personal service but prevented them from passing the disease on to their mates and children...
