Since we have had ever-sharp poneils of red barn paint, our co-eds need only rompers and a sense of humor (nearly impossible for a co-ed) to clown. The Clara Bow month on our buxom cornfed lassies is just another Cumberland gap in disguise, and the termination of Grate Garbo lip in a dimple is the ending of an opera in "Pop Goes the Weasel." But most mouths are nothing more than Halloween scares--impossibilities after the age of 12 years...

Abraham Lincoln Erlanger, who was head of A. L. Erlanger Amusement Enterprises, Inc. and who controlled more legitimate theatres than anyone else in the U. S., died in Manhattan, on March 7, 1930, of uremic poisoning and cancer.

Those entertaining brothers, the Royal Rumanians, were at it again last week. King Carol II, still somewhat tender on the jaw where Prince Nicholas had punched him, forced a decision through the Bucharest Supreme Court that the marriage of slack-chinned Prince Nicholas and his buxom inamorata, Mme Jana Lucia Deletej, was nonexistent. Not satisfied with that, the Bucharest District Court immediately annulled the marriage, leaving the grave judges in the embarrassing legal position of having invalidated something which never occurred. For good measure the Rumanian Supreme Army Council sentenced Prince Nicholas to two months imprisonment "for marrying a commoner...

...world's most talented hecklers, Britain's best. "What I want to know," drawled the first Parliamentary questioner, "is what does this term Mahatma mean? What is a Mahatma?" To catch the little man's low answer everyone strained forward, especially Miss Megan Lloyd George, buxom M. P. "Mahatma, sir," smiled Mr. Gandhi, "means 'an insignificant person.' " Hastily the British chairman interjected, "I am sure we all know that Mahatma is an Indian term meaning 'the embodiment of a great soul.'
