Since he is a widely read economist in the U.S., the appearance last week of his first full-length book, a lucid, easy-reading summary of the Coyle philosophy, was news. Certain cobblestones in Roads to a New America* were carefully placed to jolt those who drive too far to the right; others, to jounce left-siders...
...Victoria Regina, starring Helen Hayes, ran for 517 performances on Broadway in 1935-37, last season went on tour. Reopening last week in Manhattan for a limited run, it once more drew excited full-length reviews from the critics, who hailed it as "one of the classics of the American theatre," saluted Actress Hayes as "the queen of acting...
Last week a full-length documentary film on Mexican animals, produced by Brothers Stacy & Horace Woodard, made the road runner-rattlesnake story a little less tall but no less telling.

Rows of chorus girls, silvery glitter, and shiny floors are here replaced by the ballet and the opera, both excellently handled. Added to this are Charlie McCarthy, making his full-length movie debut, and the whacky Ritz Brothers, who, as usual, hold their own on the comedy side. Nevertheless, when all the ingredients of the pot are stirred up into one soup, the "Follies" lacks unity, chiefly because it is tied together by a barely discernible story...
