...Cardozo, the Court is fifty years behindhand in its political philosophy. The Roscoe Pound of a golden prime was wont to insist that law was in really social engineering; now he talks ponderously of the common courts and of their law which must chiefly enforce our security.

Frederick Lonsdale's new play, Foreigners, will be given a production by Arch Selwyn. Maria Jeritza, a rich musical comedy personality, will be seen in the operetta Jerry. Dwight Wiman and Lawrence Langner are reviving Strauss's Die Fledermaus with Peggy Wood and Helen Ford singing the leads. George S. Kaufman, that perennial collaborator, and Alexander Woollcott have written a mystery play...
