...happy sigh, the moonbeam future passed by this vote to Maurice Maschke, Ohio's National Republican Committeeman, Cleveland's cigar-smoking, bridge-playing boss. He himself had put Mr. Hopkins into office, only to become displeased with him, plot his removal. It was not until just before last week's meeting that he was able, after three unsuccessful party caucuses, to assemble another in Room 1050 at the Hollenden Hotel, three blocks from City Hall, to line up the 13 council votes necessary for City Manager Hopkins' removal. To succeed Mr. Hopkins, the Maschke councilmen chose...
Bobby Clark, with his spectacles painted on his face, his trick cane and cigar, amuses those who think that the mock-pompous delivery of big words is funny. He reaches another sense of humor by announcing, before playing the piccolo: "There are only a few of us left." His partner, as usual, is the almost completely silent Paul McCullough, who is impelled by Mr. Clark's incessant talk to bury his head in a desk drawer ("Just getting a breath of fresh air"). These buffoons and Doris Carson, a very personable girl whose adroitness as a tap dancer...
Early last week United Press correspondent Emilio Aguidino strolled along Buenos Aires' Calle Brazil smoking a morning cigaret, enjoying the warm December sunshine.

Living above a cigar store is only one of President Hipölito Irigoyen's minor idiosyncrasies. Aged 76, he looks about 60. He quit law school as a young man to become a cattle rancher, became independently wealthy before entering politics. Twice elected President (1916 & 1928) he is today virtual dictator of the Argentine. Because of his beef income, he gives his salary to charity. He has been aptly called a "Radical Autocrat...
...Kibitzer (Paramount). A comedian named Harry Green does justice to the stout humor of this play which Actor Edward G. Robinson helped to write and starred in on the legitimate stage last year. Wall Street as seen from a corner store uptown by a market-wise seller of cigars is the background. Typical gag: Harry Green betting on a horse because the horse is going to retire from the track and has never won a race and it is his belief that every horse must win at least one race sometime. Best shot: interview between the cigar store owner...
