Richberg Answer: The code was assented to in writing by 9,039 members of the industry. Twenty-one complaining witnesses were heard by the [Darrow] board, including 15 out of 7,500 theatre operators. In contrast to 14 hours and 20 minutes of "hearings" by the board, NRA spent over 1,200 hours on the drafting of the code, heard 206 witnesses and obtained a code acceptable, not only to the industry, but approved by all the advisory boards of NRA. The board acted solely on the basis of a disorderly mass of unsworn and largely false testimony...
Edwina Booth who thrilled cinemaddicts of 1931 as the blonde goddess of Trader Horn reemerged in last week's news in strange contrast to the vigorous, vibrant creature the public remembered on the screen. She has been bedridden and confined to a dark room for two years, the result, she claims, of some tropical disease which she contracted while producing the picture in Africa.

In striking contrast stands the efficient bureaucracies composed of well educated men in England, France, and Germany. Too long has the notion been prevalent in this country that politics should be left to the politicians sided by clerks to do their bidding. The fellowship that has just been warded points the way towards the creation of a system which will...
...tough part about this Saturday battle out in Worcester was that the team was giving him pretty good support most of the time, in contrast to two three-hit games Loughlin has pitched and yet long within the past two weeks. Saturday just wasn't Eddie's day. For the first two innings he was going finely, and in the fourth and fifth he recovered himself, but in between were the terrible third, the gory sixth, and the unhappy seventh, each blasted by at least one home run. Until the third, Harvard had a 2-0 lead, but in that...
