...Start. Dropping its landing gear to lessen its load, the White Bird skirted the southern coasts of England and Ireland, pointed its nose toward Newfoundland. It had no wireless. It was flying north of the usual steamship lanes. An angry wind from the west was beating in its face, slowing its speed. Expecting to reach New York in 35 hours, it carried only enough gasoline for 40 hours flying...
...must out, I shall have to confess that it was with many misgivings that I took up "Brother Saul," After reading his other books there was a lurking fear that this one might not quite be up to their standard. Could this writer, the breath of whose nostrils is Ireland, and who in his other works writes, figuratively speaking, with emerald ink--could he so far forget his mountains and heather moors as to be able to transport himself back to the Palestine and Rome of some 2,000 years ago and enter into the spirit of Saul of Tarsus...
Rockwell Kent paints only his adventures. Wherever he sails he is on the watch for rugged seascapes. He does no portrait work on order. Nor does he paint for a living.

It probably made Soviet ministers throw bombs, clench their teeth, bristle their whiskers and evince other characteristically Russian signs of displeasure. It reassured conservative England; at least radical viewpoints did not interfere with good taste...
Irish Destiny is a film made in Ireland by Dr. I. J. Eppel. It records with bungling artistry but unmistakable sincerity the struggle between the Irish Republican Army and the British Black-and-Tans during the bitter squabbles of 1916-22. Most interesting are pictures of the escape of 200 prisoners from Curragh Prison Camp, the burning of the Dublin Customs House, street fighting in the city. In spite of paucity of entertainment, the film holds the attention of those whose feelings are swayed by political, racial considerations...
