...been entertaining to wonder whether the next young woman to appear under the auspices of Lucky Strike or Chesterfield on the bill-boards of the land would be a Greta Garbo or a Clara Bow type. The country may have benefited by the redistribution of funds produced by wagers, won and lost, on the next sport to be glorified by the versatile female athlete who posed for a gasoline company as "Power," "Speed," and "Balance," in successive months. Undoubtedly bill-board advertisements, like traveling salesmen and muddy weather, being unpredictable, have added glamor to life, and being thoroughly vexing, strength...
...Long was sure that the troubles of 1930-32 would vanish as did those of 1874-75. Surprisingly, Halsey, Stuart & Co. (who sold the bonds), agreed, denounced the move as "decidedly destructive." In the fight that loomed last week Old Robert was not the example of a great name bowed as was Rudolph Spreckels, nor were his troubles those of new competition which befell Col.

...grave, hulking German came on to the stage at Carnegie Hall, Manhattan, last week, made a solemn bow and, turning around, flipped his coat tails in the face of a smart Philharmonic-Symphony audience. The gesture was not one of disrespect. German Bruno Walter was just preparing to sit down before a keyboard, to play the harpsichord part of Handel's G Minor Concerto for Strings, also to conduct the orchestra. Sometimes his right hand, sometimes his left, flew from the keyboard long enough to let his will be emphatically known to violinists, 'cellists, viola and contrabass players...
