Cameramen have been photographing it ever since the year 1914. 1
mean the last twenty years that have shaken America industrially, socially, morally, like a rending earthquake. The World War’s aftermath of despair and paralysis. EDWIN c HILL Scared humanity whistling in the dark to support its courage. ... It is well-nigh impossible to get the throbbing, tumultuous, maniacal picture in our minds unless it is visualized for us.
yyND that IS what the Univer sal people have done out in Uncle Carl Laemmle’s studios in Hollywood with their colorful and thrilling “Only Yesterday”; a motion picture which is the March of the Times, accompanied by all the wild laughter and the mad cries, the jazz and the cocktdils; dark followed by bursts of light, like watching the sweeping terror of a savage thunderstorm in the night . It took twenty years to make that amazing, arresting and thoroughly entertaining picture of a crosssection of American life
The all-absorbing story of a group of people who saw the Devil rise out of Hell while they played contract and drank cocktails and played at love and saw their fortunes go to ruin.

And back of all the stars and starlets are no less than four thousand five hundred “extras.”
A multi-starred, super-spectacle Universal calls it, with some justice, one thinks, for it is certainly one of the most effective picture dramas that has reached the screen in years, and a faithful, absorbing record of the last two decades that have swept over our United States like a hurricane.
. “Only Yesterday.” ... It is America and the blinding, dizzying rush of the times that you will see when the lights go dim. A little of all of us in that surging parade of life!
