Late one afternoon last week Franklin Roosevelt drove out to Washington's Naval Hospital to see his oldest political adviser, Louis McHenry Howe, abed for a year with heart and lung trouble. The President visited his No. 1 secretary because Louis Howe is the foremost member of the Cuff-Links Gang. This organization is composed of friends who helped Franklin Roosevelt run for Vice President in 1920 and to whom he gave sets of cuff links in remembrance of that unfortunate political campaign. Of late years the Cuff-Links Gang has been getting together with the President to help...
...balls in Washington, to which 18,000 $2.50 tickets were sold entitling the bearers to visit balls at all or any of six hotels, to travel from ball to ball by free bus. Among the travelers were Guy Lombardo & orchestra, Cinemactress Ginger Rogers (who, though no member of the Cuff-Links Gang, dropped in at the White House) and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt. Accompanied by a troupe of handmaidens including Nancy Cook, Marion Dickerman, Malvina Thompson Scheider and Marguerite ("Missy'') Le Hand, and wearing a necklace of tiger's claws, the President's wife went successively...
...Stockholm fastidious King Gustaf V, who hates and fears the Bolsheviks across the Baltic, could rejoice at all sorts of prosperous indexes as he snapped on his sapphire cuff links, his dainty wrist watch and his gold snake bracelet. Stockholm editors now speak of Depression as something definitely passed. Registered unemployment is down from the peak of 187,000 at this time last year to 53,000.

...Louis Kid (Warner) shows James Cagney receiving a cuff on the jaw from his leading lady instead of giving her one. Because he was tired of punching with his fists in pictures. Cagney suggested a variation to Director Ray Enright. In The St. Louis Kid he wears bandages on his hands, butts his way through brawls with his head. In other respects, the picture is standard Cagney entertainment, a rapid, realistic fantasy about a truck-driver who wants a quiet weekend in the country. Best shot: Cagney being welcomed into a village jail by a warden who loves company...
...make this picture a faithful transcription of its original. Admirers of George Wilbur Peck's 1883 classic may therefore be disappointed to find it projected upon the screen as an up-to-date tearjerker, in which young Bill Peck experiences every childhood misery known to Hollywood, from a cuff on the ear to forced separation from his mongrel dog. When he writes an essay to the effect that Mr. Peck (Thomas Meighan) is an ideal father, he learns that Mr. Peck is not his father. When his Aunt Lily (Dorothy Peterson) and his Cousin Horace (Jackie Searl) arrive...
