...offering company was Fidelio Brewery, Inc., of Manhattan. The offer was made by Bauer, Pogue & Co., and consisted of 500,000 $1 par shares at $2. Fidelio started in 1852 as H. Koehler & Co., ale-brewers. It was later bought by Samuel Goldberger, Bohemian hop tycoon. His son, Norman S. Goldberger, is president of the company now, having worked in it since he was graduated from Columbia in 1904. Many of the other employes are working in positions once held by their fathers, including a brewmaster whose father mixed Fidelio's brews from...
...anthropologist's interest in items human is protean. Neatly arranged cases, cupboards and drawers at the Smithsonian Institution contain 1.500 human skeletal remains which Dr. Hrdlicka has collected. In filing cabinets are his records of American whites and Negroes, of Egyptians and Slavs (he is a Bohemian), of peoples in Peru, Mexico, Asia, of little understood midgets. A small cabinet, labeled tetrapodisis and still only meagrely filled, contains the case histories of children who ambled, like little animals, on hands and feet before they walked upright (TIME, Jan. 6 & Jan. 27, 1930). The "walking-on-all-fours" records form...
Westward Passage (RKO) improves on Margaret Ayer Barnes's novel but is still dull, incredible. It purports to show respectable ladies how to have their cake and eat it too.

The new husband is substantial, adequate and unexciting for ten years or until the first husband turns up again, successful, in Lucerne, Switzerland. The combination results in a triumph for romance. An attempt...
Emil Lederer, a sturdy Bohemian who became a U. S. citizen and has been in the shipping business 40 years, had reason to be proud last week. For the North Atlantic Passenger Conference, to which all North Atlantic lines belong, decided that Mr. Lederer is the man to smooth shipping's troubled waters, made him their "tsar." With power to go through members' books to see that tariffs are being adhered to, he will rule the Conference with the same undisputed power that its captains have at sea. While the choice must be ratified at the Conference...
...defeating his opponent, a plodding, slight little Bohemian named Joseph Z. Klenha, President-elect Cerny's platform was: "Undesirables must go! Jail for the gangsters and payrolls for public employes!" Elected, he declared: "Most of the citizens are of foreign extraction. They are home-loving people and ask only for peace and good government. They'll get it." They will also still be able to get their beer at Cicero's 175 dispensaries...
