It took her a while to learn to put a song across, and her first few engagements (in Las Vegas, Nev., Chicago, New Orleans) were disappointing.

Murchison borrowed the cash for his share from Alleghany. Last January, one day after Young sold out his C. & O. interests to Eaton, Murchison paid Alleghany more than $4,000,000 for 24% of the voting stock in Investors Diversified Services, Inc., Minneapolis investment trust which Alleghany controls. Murchison also owns $7,000,000 in bonds...
...hustle Jennifer, while Gina bares some exciting intentions to her rival's husband. The four villains watch this game of amatory cat's cradle with alarm, and soon read into it a counterplot to deactivate the uranium deal. On the way to Africa, they decide to cash in the counterfeit count because he has sniffed out their game; but the ship opportunely starts to sink, the victim disappears overboard, and the seven survivors reach shore only to be seized as spies by the Arabs. In the end, the fourflushing foursome are clapped in the clink because Jennifer...
