Three days after Mamba's Daughters opened, 19 notables-including Actresses Judith Anderson, Tallulah Bankhead and Dorothy Gish, Scene-Designer Norman Bel Geddes, Author Carl Van Vechten, and Publishers Cass Canfield and John Farrar -ran a testimonial in the N. Y. Times...
Since then streamlining has become the bugaboo of U. S. industrial designing. Popularizers like Norman Bel Geddes have made citizens visually speed-conscious, so that now even a refrigerator must look as if it is getting somewhere in a hurry.

Last year Governor Leche, 39, and a year younger than Dr. Vidrine, sent that able man packing-he is now in private practice in New Orleans. Pathologist Joseph Rigney D'Aunoy became dean of University of Louisiana's Medical School, Cardiologist George Samuel Bel became director of Charity Hospital. And with Dean Charles Cassedy Bass of Tulane's Medical School, these doctors set out to regain for Louisiana a good name in the medical profession...
