...Capitol, found that his automobile was not functioning properly. He telephoned a garage, ordered repairs, arranged that the garageman was to leave another automobile for his use. When he was through for the day, Senator Oddie went to the Capitol Plaza, picked out a shiny new Packard sedan, drove home in it. Next morning at breakfast he read in the newspaper that the automobile of his Democratic adversary, Senator Harry Bartow Hawes of Missouri, was being searched for by the police. That, thought Senator Oddie, was too bad. When he went to get his borrowed car to drive to work...

That morning Jones broke the course record with a 65. He drove the 270-yard second green and got down in two putts for a birdie. He laid an approach dead for another birdie on the fifth. On the second nine he made every hole in four except two that he made in two. In the afternoon he made one mistake...

Better characterizations were those of Contralto Marion Telva as the ill-tempered mother; of Basso Leon Rothier as the father so dumbly doting that he drove Louise back to Julien and the free-and-easy Paris. The audience appeared to appreciate most Max Bloch who as an old-clothesman stalked on the stage and off wearing half a dozen toppling, ill-assorted hats...
