...Woodrow Wilson and other Allied leaders. In 1920 when Marshal Pilsudski was at war with Russia in an attempt to drive Soviet troops from East Galicia, and found his troops beaten at every turn, it was the French military mission, and in particular Marshal Foch's favorite, dapper little General Maxime Weygand, that turned the Bolsheviks from the gates of Warsaw in one of the decisive battles of modern times. Later in Warsaw he became intimate with two men destined to go far, Relief Administrator Herbert Hoover, and Mgr. Achille Ratti, who became Pope of Rome...
...Sheehan, a dapper man of 50, appeared with eight pairs of lifelike, flesh tinted, before-&-after models of faces which he had repaired, and two similar pairs of hands. He displayed colored lantern slides of dozens of before-&-after faces. Lastly he ran off a colored movie* of an operation to repair a young woman's paralyzed features.

...square-eyed young woman with flowing hair lay on her side on a rolling operating-room stretcher. Down her abdomen ran the bright scarlet streak of a surgical incision, freshly stitched.

For James ("Jimmy") Speyer, the shrewd, dapper, little 73-year-old banker who, for all practical purposes, is Speyer & Co., that deal proved highly profitable. From commissions and the firm's own speculative commitments, Speyer & Co. made no less than $1,900.000. For Frisco, however, the deal was disastrous. What was more, Mr. Brown did not even...
Spectacled Muralist Kadish and dapper Muralist Goldstein are both parlor pinks and both influenced by a Los Angeles esthete known as Lorser Feitelson. An able draughtsman with a shrewd eye for publicity, Artist Feitelson was anxiously trying to burst into the news last week as the prophet of a new art movement called Post-Surrealism or New Classicism. As an example of his new school's work he presented his own canvas entitled Genesis. Similar to fresco painting in technique, it showed a young lady's rear, her navel reflected in a mirror, a rising...
