...have just finished reading The Kid, a juvenile by Mary Biddle Titler (Harper's, N. Y.) Her first book Reddy was published a year ago, and is in its sixth edition, nearly 10,000 copies sold to date. The first edition was 2,000, and its success warranted Harper to make the first edition of The Kid 4,000. I understand the life of most juveniles is only 5,000 altogether. I quote these figures to substantiate my personal opinion...
...Polo Grounds, Manhattan, Eligio ("Kid Chocolate") Sardinias, jaunty 128-lb. Cuban Negro who has won 167 fights, turned around as the whistle blew and led a flashy jab at the chin of Jack ("Kid") Berg, 135-lb. cockney...

Lindbergh's wife (unmentioned in the story) and headlined: LINDY WANTS...
...Arizona Kid (Fox). To Warner Baxter and Fox Films went the first prize of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for In Old Arizona (TIME, April 21). This sequel is written around the same character from O. Henry's story and acted by the same Baxter. It is one more piece of evidence that the "western," already an eminently successful cinematic formula, has in one way been energized and in another way sterilized by the sound device. Frontier atmosphere, crystallized in words and incidental noises, and the opportunity offered to expert modern photographers by frontier hillscapes have proved...
...Texan (Paramount). This is another western, more elaborate than The Arizona Kid and less legitimate, with a mother-love angle and Gary Cooper as the bandit who conceals his identity. Like Warner Baxter he is an 0. Henry character-"A Double-Dyed Deceiver" has been retouched by Oliver .H. P. Garrett-but he is no Arizona Kid. Background is an element which must be weighed carefully in appraising the characters of disguised bandits called Kid. Gary Cooper is the Llano Kid. He is about to cheat an old South American woman out of all her worldly goods when his better...
