...fight in Mexico is, at bottom, just dogfight, though the triumph of General Calles would mean the continuance of his Socialist Anti-Catholic policies. During the week General Calles' so-called "puppet," President Portes Gil, called at the U. S. Embassy?something which no Mexican President has done for many, many years?and expressed to Ambassador Dwight Whitney Morrow the Government's extreme gratitude for the rifles and ammunition which President Hoover is permitting to enter Mexico in hopes that the federal soldiers will thus be aided to make a quick peace. During the week Finance Minister Luis Montez...
Evidence of the great business done by publishers of "sets" lies with the promoters of Smithsonian Scientific Series, Inc.?Walter F. Austin (president) and Charles Lipscomb (treasurer).

Gauvin began a New York engagement last week with a piece entitled Trois Jeunes Filles Nues, which, for the sake of the censor, was translated as "Three Girls From The Folies Bergere." The book, by Yves Mirande...
...sergeant is one of the crack performances of the season. She Got What She Wanted. Evidently on the theory that if the triangle play has been successful the rectangle play should be still more so, George Rosener has written one about three men and a maid. Subtly done it might not have been bad, but Mr. Rosener apparently wrote it with a sledgehammer, and the cast plays it through a megaphone. The Earth Between. The latest play to fall into the hands of the experimental Provincetown Playhouse group is agricultural in background but cannot exactly be said to solve...
