There were no supercilious airs, no cocky hats. The scene was one of intellectual humility. They avoided their best friends with squeamish grins, as though they had encountered their grandmother in a bar. No, they did not KNOW. This is the cue for the Hygiene Department. It has been saved the trouble and expense of disproving the common belief that Harvard men know too much. Entrust the subject to one who is not only well known in this field, but who is also in existence; unite the Hygiene and the Raised-Eyebrow Departments, and the latter will perish. Then perhaps...

At her husband's country lodge, complying with the new convention whereby Metropolitan Opera stars show cinema patrons how jolly and unpretentious they really are by breaking into jazz, Miss Moore rivals...
...funsters were still itching without relief when, last week. Miss Joan Young, author of a British Broadcasting Corp. radio revue called Masculine Fame on Parade, took her place to conduct this performance. The B. B. C. Variety Orchestra struck up. Itching intolerably, Comedian John Rorke stood by waiting his cue while the chorus sang...
