The Crowd (1928 film)

"Johnny Sims reached the age of twelve. He recited poetry, played piano and sang in a choir....so did Lincoln and Washington!"

"When John was twenty-one he became one of the seven million that believe New York depends on them."

"During the next five years two eventful things happened to the Simses. A baby sister was born....and John received an $8 raise."

"We do not know how big the crowd is, and what opposition it is....until we get out of step with it."

"Look at that crowd! The poor boobs....all in the same rut!"

"[laughing at a juggling clown] The poor sap! And I bet his father thought he would be President!"

"[singing to the ukelele] Wife and I are happy And everything is swell; It's heavenly inside our flat But outside it is El!"

"Take it from me, marriage isn't a word....it's a sentence!"

"Stranger: [on the NYC ferry] You've gotta be good in that town if you want to beat the crowd."

"Flapper: [to John] Oh, Gee, Baby! How did the angels ever let you leave Heaven?"

"When Life Beats You Down to Your Knees -See How to Fight Back and WIN!"

"The Story of You and I, the man next door, told with a sweep of drama Magnificent and Amazing."

"A powerful drama of modern marriage- a marriage that goes smash, and how it is saved. See yourself in "THE CROWD.""
