...amusement capital of the nation is chronically bored. There are too many entertainers in Hollywood who want to be entertained on their nights off, too few gilded saloons to entertain them. Hollywood gets tired of making the round of its half-dozen bars, listening to its own prolific gossip. Recently Hollywood found an exciting new interest-the war. Before the invasion of France most Hollywooders began (and ended) their reading of the press with the movie columns. Now they are beginning to bend an ear toward Roosevelt, Churchill and Reynaud with as much respect as toward Louella Parsons or Jimmie...

Girls no longer have to report to their teachers that they have taken two tub baths a week, nor entertain men in Engaged Parlor ("a kind of goldfish bowl"), nor go to chapel.

S. T.) on April 30, Tuesdays and Thursdays thereafter, Sweetheart Toilet...
Swimmers have to be realists in the matter of pre-game hopes for victory, since most men's performances can be predicted if their previous times are studied. Because the clockings of the Yalemen have been consistently superior to most Harvard efforts, Captain Cutler and his team can hardly entertain many hopes of defeating Russ Duncan and his mates, but they will derive a certain satisfaction from scoring as many points as possible, and even in pushing the Blue mermen to new records...
