...which the great city presents. Lower Manhattan at dawn, Scarsdalers waiting herd-like for the 8.52; a homeless drunk sprawled on the sidewalk, semi-human sardines jammed into the subway; Mrs. $25,000-a-year-executive smugly viewing the man-made greenness of the Bronx River Parkway; Miss $15-a-week dictation sponge engulfing a hectic ham-on-rye; sunshine on the glories of Park Avenue; the same sunshine on the littered, crowded alloys of Mike Gold's 606 playground (the East Side); Fifth Avenue jammed with taxis, limousines and fur-clad ladies with good dogs; dismal parks replete with...

They went to the tournament together when an airline offered them free transportation in case of vacancies. They rented a $7-a-week room.

He was still abed when Editor Swope telephoned: "I see by the morning papers you don't need a job. You're fired." They Knew What They Wanted...
...entertainment. Under Director George Cukor, John Barrymore (Larry Renault), Lionel Barrymore (Oliver Jordan), Marie Dressier (Carlotta Vance), Jean Harlow (Kitty Packard), Wallace Beery (Dan Packard), Lee Tracy (Renault's agent), Billie Burke (Millicent Jordan), Edmund Lowe (Dr. Talbot) and Karen Morley (Mrs. Talbot), supported by such $1,000-a-week celebrities as Phillips Holmes, Jean Hersholt, Madge Evans, Grant Mitchell and the late Louise Closser Hale, perform brilliantly and avoid each others' toes. Good shot: Kitty Packard making up her mind to give her maid a bracelet. Paddy, the Next Best Thing (Fox) is very clearly...
