...shooting gallery. The quality of Art Young's drawing, like that of all extremely productive artists, is highly irregular. The best is almost worthy of that of his model and hero, the late great Paul Gustave Doré. Among the better Hell drawings is one entitled "Clock Conscious." Two other Hell drawings of note: "The Idiot Giant War," an obscene, pinheaded, hog-faced beast with ostrich feathers in his rump, gulping fistfuls of men from a great bowl ; "Trying to End it All," a pale and flabby Hellion, who has just slashed ineffectively at his nude paunch with...
...became part of the language of his imitative admirers but not slang. Cartoonist T. A. Dorgan ("Tad") put a little dog in his pictures who barked "balogna"; the term was not, like some of Tad's, his own. "Blessed event," "phttf and "middle-aisle" by Winchell are too conscious to be slang; "whoopee," old when he first used it, is already obsolete.

Matriarch Hitchcock urged her mount to a stiff hurdle, was catapulted to earth when it faltered and fell. Fully conscious, she was carried to her home, where doctors found that two broken neck vertebrae had partly paralyzed her right arm, completely paralyzed her right leg. Said her daughter : "Mother is resting well and making fine progress." Bound for Doom, to attend his grand father's 75th birthday party, Louis...
...Authoress Peterkin would hardly guess that there was such a thing as a "Negro problem." For her and her readers the Negro is the Southern plantation darky, whom Southerners always represent as being a lovable, child-like creature, living as a happy dependent on a sympathetic white master. Race-conscious Negroes and Northern negrophiles consider Authoress Peterkin's gently glowing picture partial, incomplete, but readers in general fall under the charm of her affectionate sympathy. Photographer Doris Ulmann's share in Roll, Jordan, Roll is 70 masterly photo graphs of Negro types, scenes. With these pictures as text...
