Rich in solid, simple philosophy, fairly pungent with the fertile warth of the Iowa soil which nurtures its characters, "The Folks" is an understanding and deeply moving portrayal of the changing pattern of small-town life in the American Middle-West. Ruth Suckow does not look upon her people with the sophisticated, cynical, despising eyes of Sinclair Lewis, for she knows them well and has a true understanding of their problems and a profound sympathy for them in their struggle to adapt themselves to the basically altered conditions of modern life. The old security of farm, home, and church...
Boyer enthusiasts have failed to analyze her charm. The voice is cool, remote, essentially Gallic. But a bewitching personal note persists whether she sings of love or hate, boredom or jealousy. Each song has a finely chiseled pattern, an unmistakable mood built from a variety of inflections. Like Helen Morgan she likes to sit on the piano, flutter her hands. But she is as likely to pace the stage, act out each phrase. Like Libby Holman she can get her voice down to a guttural bass. But for finesse this Parisienne, now in her early...
...difficult to determine from the pattern of the market, whether the Fates are weaving diapers for a baby bull market or whether Clotho has in mind cere cloths for security holders.

It is felt that the bullish implication is more probable
...choosy, opinionated. Few church magazines are currently given denominational subsidies. Almost no big advertisers buy space in them. (Exception: the homey, nondenominational Christian Herald.) With theological controversy and petty driblets of church news as his stock-in-trade, the religious editor must cut his thoughts to a consistent pattern. And of all denominations the one whose journalists are the most orthodox is the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. Its magazines are: The Presbyterian (conservative weekly), The Presbyterian Ban ner (middle-of-the-road weekly), Christianity Today (arch-Fundamentalist monthly) and The Presbyterian Advance. The last, a journal founded...
