...whose ribald God's Little Acre (TIME, Feb. 20) fell foul of Vice-Crusader John S. Sumner but was given a clean bill of health by the courts. Essentially a humorist, and of the earth earthly, he has not yet settled down to his role. Left wing critics have dragged tempting herrings across his track, calling him a heavyweight Red hope and trying to lure him into the ranks of the proletarian propagandists Most of the 20 stories in We Are the Living are seriously intended; some are seriously successful; but the cream of the crop are bawdy-wild...
Richard Arlen and Chester Morris, the two brothers who inherit a wheat farm, are two of the Playgoer's favorite actors.

It makes four of these notes, separated by infinitesimal pauses, at each stroke of its bow. The cricket's stridor is a love song, produced only by the adult male. When the bemused female approaches he tones down his serenade...
...looked and felt in the parade, Editor Brisbane, 68, replied: "I wasn't tired, because I exercise constantly, breaking in young horses and chopping down trees. . . . We all perspired a good deal. . . . Life is one long procession, anyway. . . . Future processions will be in the air, thousands of airplanes, wing to wing...
