...accidents of the Show's alphabetical arrangement by artists' names brought side by side the works of Benito Nuno, patriot, and Benjamin S. Ovryn, revolutionary. Nuno's Our Leader presents President Roosevelt, glorified, benevolent, beaming at various U. S. phenomena climaxed by a copy of Motion Picture Magazine. For the Left, Ovryn gives the same central position in his study of The Imperial Way to Russia's Dictator Joseph Stalin, topped by a villainous crew of imperialists: Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, John D.

Lipscomb, to learn his mission was to deliver a mysterious sealed letter; that he was aided by a swashbuckling ex-sergeant of Marines (Wallace Beery) and the lovely daughter (Barbara Stanwyck) of a Cuban patriot; that his principal antagonist was an international spy of in determinate nationality (Alan Hale); and that he was rescued from the clutches of the latter by a charge of General García's cavalry. Cinemaddicts less intimately acquainted with his exploit will accept these as legitimate embellishments...
