College Humor (Paramount) is a frantic little absurdity about an institution called Midwest (football rival: Yarwood) where Jack Oakie is the dormitory dunce, Lona Andre the campus belle, Richard Aden a neurotic footballer, and Bing Crosby the professor of music. With that inappropriate calm which is his chief distinction, Crosby yodels songs called "Learn to Croon," "Play Ball," "Moon-struck," ''The Old Ox Road." Paramount, more versatile than its competitors, has two types of musical pictures. Those in which Maurice Chevalier is directed by Ernst Lubitsch are for metropolitan consumption. The others, of which this is a fair...
...complete the job of putting Avco on a paying basis, Mr. Cord last week chose a board of nine, himself included. Two were Cord executives: Vice President Lucius B. Manning of Cord Corp.; Major Lester Draper ("Bing") Seymour, a small, genial disciplinarian who flew with the A. E. F. and who has been president of American Airways since December. Two were Cord lawyers: stocky General Counsel Raymond S. Pruitt; Lyndol L. Young, who grew up with Cord in Los Angeles, hunted squirrels with him on the site of the Ambassador Hotel, graduated from the University of Southern California...
Sirs: Reading your inimitable TIME of Nov. 28 avidly I ran across the interesting and touching "Don't you bite, Bing" on p. 22 stating the shepherd dog was found rabid, foaming at the mouth and putting the boy owners in grave personal danger.

Major Lester Draper ("Bing") Seymour is the man E. L. Cord wanted in place of La Motte Cohu last spring. At that time Cord was not strong enough to have Seymour elected. But he did succeed in having President Cohu's undated resignation placed in care of Avco Board Chairman William Averell Harriman, just in case. For several weeks matters went smoothly, and one day - the story goes - when Cord, Cohu & Harriman were riding in a taxicab, Cord asked Banker Harriman for the resignation, tore it up. When hostilities reopened, he bitterly regretted his impulse...
...first dyed-in-wool operations man to pre side over American Airways. He served with the Army Air Corps overseas, re turned to become consulting engineer to the Chief of Army Air Service. Shortly after National Air Transport was organized in 1926, and before it began service, "Bing" Seymour joined its ranks. He remained with it until a few months ago when he resigned as vice president in charge of operations (of United Airlines, which" had absorbed NAT). To him went much credit for early airmail pioneering. He will doubtless make his headquarters in St. Louis, operating centre of American...
