...Song and Dance Man. Continuing the mood of reminiscence in which he revived The Tavern last month (TIME, June 2), George M. Cohan has seen fit to present his Song & Dance Man, first produced seven years ago. Although the piece itself is cloyed with the most bogus Broadway sentimentality, and although thousands are familiar with the cinematized version of the story, for Mr. Cohan's sake audiences received the play with affection...
...successful were the trio that they soon added bogus Corots, Degas, Daumiers, Sisleys and Pissarros to their stock. Some of these sold as high as $10,000.

Once she gets him, she learns that babies do not always come with husbands and is highly embarrassed by the arrival of toy trains, mechanical bunnies, other anticipatory gewgaws. And when her husband...

Sample: Last week one Joseph Wolf man was apprehended playing checkers in a Jersey City Y. M. C. A. For four years he has appeared in Manhattan courts, a bogus lawyer who declared he "fixed" cases with the help of policemen and court officials, earned an average of $500 a week when business was good...
