Dr. Butler critiques politicians as limelight seekers who wield power by exploiting human weaknesses. He cites F. S. Oliver and argues the politician cannot master government, only hold office, using instinct and manipulation across all forms of government. He questions the moral core of governance and power.
Editorial urges Barnard College to join the fight for national recovery. It argues the class of 1932 can balance the budget better than Congress and calls for action amid growing economic hardship, noting city relief efforts and federal measures.
The piece critiques a Lilian Harvey vehicle titled Congress Dances. It mocks its Alt Wien setting political parody and Metternich for stilted pacing uninspired photography and mismatched music. It notes audience restlessness and a broken projector causing relief.
A review of Alone produced in the U S S R condemns it as propaganda with poor artistry. It notes the weak plot about Elena Kuzmina teaching in a remote Altai village and her conflict with sheep herders and a medicine man. The reviewer contrasts it with Golden Mountains and laments state rescue by airplanes.
A column critiques the film Man About Town starring Warner Baxter Karen Morley and Conway Tearle. It derides the meandering plot about an elite gambling ring and a Secret Service friend while praising the film’s ambition and poetic segments including Conquistador’s memory driven counterpoint.
