...Pedro harbor fluttered with bunting, resounded with saluting cannon. The U. S. S. Maryland steamed out; first stop Corinto, Nicaragua. When the Hoovers went to their cabin Mrs. Hoover had to admire the first vanity dresser ever installed on a U. S. warship. Mr. Hoover, unpacking, cast a bright eye on his new-bought kit of deep-sea fishing tackle. Watching the lazy Pacific swells some of his first thoughts were about the monster sailfish, amber-jacks, tuna, wahoos, crevalles and yellowtails that live off the coast of Lower California and in the tide-rips from there to Chile...
...Circus. Two significant features of this piece: it is aeronautical but has nothing to do with the 1914-18 shellfire; its cast includes Louise Dresser, who was in two Manhattan cinema openings last week (see A Ship Comes In.)

The wardrobe mistress (Louise Dresser), one of those quaint impoverished baronesses, adopted her, took her to Monte Carlo where the pair lived for a month on the savings of a year. In the garden of the Hotel Eden a rich young man (Charles Ray) makes love to Toni (Corinne Griffith). A marriage is arranged. Enraged by last-minute accusations of gold-digging, Toni tears off her wedding gown, runs through corridors in less & less until finally she encounters the Prime...
...bring to their city all the concentrated beauty that a staggering sum of money could buy. It stands today one of the finest public collections in the western world. It was unquestionably the influence of this museum that prompted Lasalle & Koch to engage Artist Covey as their window-dresser. Nor did they engage him to help sell shoes and pots and furniture. Not one item of their stock was to be placed in their windows during the twelve days the pictures were on exhibition...
