...Scandinavian, a onetime sailor. Beyond a tendency to use explicit language and to despise small girls who play with dolls, Wonder Girl Didrikson's demeanor during intervals between her physical exertions is not unfeminine. She likes to cook, dance, sew. Last year she constructed for herself a box-plaited dress. It won first prize at the Texas State Fair...
Tradition has it that "The London Morning Post" in good, conventional Victorian times could make or mar a marriage by designating the proposed alliance as "suitable" or, by implication, the reverse, and correspondingly to have one's engagement and subsequently one's marriage chronicled in a box on the front page of Saturday's "Transcript" is almost as much of a necessity in Boston as a ring and clergyman.

When a songwriter like Jerome Kern or George Gershwin wants to put on a show he takes his tunes to Harms for Russell...

They were grateful to the hard-pressed Metropolitan for mounting even so tardily a great opera which is unlikely to prove a great box-office attraction...
