...songs lack color, too. The only real support accorded the female form comes from Irene Sharaff, who has clothed it (when it is clothed at all) sumptuously, from two brilliant jugglers named Peiro, and from "Peanuts" Mann banging the daylights out of a drum...
...Hotel Taft was crowded with politicians, all wide awake. Leading Candidate John Davis Lodge, of the Boston Lodges,* paused amid the swirling delegates and nibbled on the nail of his index finger.

Tempelhof field was jammed by 100,000 Berliners who had turned out with baby carriages, folding chairs and lunch boxes to see the show. Star attraction proved...
