Four hundred musicians filed quietly out of Denver's Coliseum one day last week. They carried no instruments, for they had not been practicing their art. They had been discussing their business. Without the accompaniment of music they had just completed an annual convention of the American Federation of Musicians. Their faces were not gay for, though they had convened long and intensely, little had been accomplished toward bringing about musical employment for their 35,000 jobless fellow members (TIME...
...inspection of old Paris churches last week long enough to reveal his solution of an ancient political problem. To run Republican campaigns "without resorting to empty promises or breaths of scandal" Dr. Work will remove his activities from Washington, population centre of politicians, and occupy rented offices in Denver (his home).

Besides being a musician, he is a prosperous adept in the science-art of Chiropractic...

The seventh contest, held last week, was cut to the conventional pattern. Twenty amateur organizations competed, each presenting a one-act play. One group from Denver gave a horrific vignette by Eugene O'Neill in which a white couple and a Negro are shown adrift on a raft in tropic seas. Another Denver company chose for its dramatic locale a rainswept bit of Maine seacoast where the incessant downpour drove a bedraggled housewife insane, sent...
