...Montgomery, Ala. cotton merchant who went to New York after the Civil War and founded a private banking house, Governor Lehman has spent most of his adult life in finance, as a partner in Lehman Bros. Politically he is not a misfit but an anomaly. Following two- such bright political lights as Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt at Albany he is wholly out of place, yet thoroughly successful. He has the whole hearted support not only of Messrs. Smith and Roosevelt but of a vast section of the New York Press. He is not the public idol...
...jumbled Charlie Chaplin on roller skates, Mickey Mouse, Mutt ;; Jeff, Shakespeare's Bottom, Will Rogers, Popeye the Sailor.

Porter Hall as this unfortunate "Charlie Meredith," is all that any stooge could be, and he adds to his part tremendously by magnificent acting in a role which is an easy one to overdo...
...play, by Kaufman and Ryskind is a beautiful piece of satire on the RFC and the men who run it. Of the two professors who come to investigate Benny, his partner, and their staff of six hotcha girls who run the Black Creek Railroad, one is a professor of anthropology at Columbia, and the other of Hebraic Languages at Harvard. These trusted scholars are delightfully duped by Benny and friends until they are accosted by a man who says that he is an agent for the Department of Justice, whereupon one of the chorus girls pipes up "What's Justice...
