...Supreme Moment. A title like this will pack them into the cinema theatre, people say. Certain types of minds would walk a mile to stay away from it. Unfortunately, these latter lose. With Blanche Sweet acting her exceptional best, the entertainment is a better than average sample. She plays an actress with whom a man in the audience falls in love. Off they go to South America, where she poses as his sister. Intrigue, native rising and a final happiness unravel. Two stretches of brilliant color film help considerably...

It is a fact that many college editors prostitute their intellectual standards and their literary skill to "exhorting application to study, denouncing unmoral students, people who do not cheer at basketball games, radicals and Freshmen Who Walk On The Grass."

Civilized women, because the width of their hips makes their walk an inevitable, though sometimes a graceful, waddle, have not contributed much to this imbecilic form of experimentation. Their speed upon cinders, earth, boards, is pathetic; on ice, or in the water, they do better. Last week in Pittsburgh, an unusually swift woman, Elsie Muller of Manhattan, broke the woman...
