Chicago and Frank Joseph Corr were as surprised as were New York and John Patrick O'Brien last autumn when Tammany Boss Curry threw O'Brien into the mayoral gap left by Jimmy Walker. Said Acting Mayor Corr: "I didn't even know I was a candidate. . . . I have no feeling of elation." Outside his own ward, where he has been Democratic chairman for 25 years, few Chicagoans ever heard of him.

The functional organization of the CRIMSON makes this Committee of the Assistant Managing editors the logical supervisors of the series. To be sure, the then President...
...which the title rôle is secondary-can therefore be considered a success; its purpose was to provide a glamorous background for an actress whom experts consider Hollywood's most notable box-office find since Joan Crawford. In her first cinema (A Bill of Divorcement, last autumn) Katharine Hepburn came as close as anyone can to stealing a picture from John Barrymore. Before that she had been a stage actress whose principal talent seemed to be for getting and then losing lead parts in plays like The Big Pond and Death Takes a Holiday...
