...those were the headquarters and that was the funeral of one of the richest men in the world, a man who by floating loans could keep whole countries from sinking, whose death and its subsequences may cause a political crisis in France. This financial emperor was a fat-lipped, mean, noxious, cigar-smoking German Jew, one of whose mistresses had a gold bathtub and who, after 20 years in The Netherlands, could not speak enough Dutch to boss his own chauffeur. His name was Dr. Fritz Mannheimer...
Elsa Maxwell's Hotel for Women (Twentieth Century-Fox) introduces two new screen personalities: luscious, lissom Linda Darnell (her real name), 15, of Dallas, Texas, and fat, frenetic, fiftyish Elsa Maxwell, corkjester extraordinary to Manhattan's café society. In a complicated little story about life & love in a Manhattan residence hotel for women, untypical Miss Maxwell plays herself (explaining her presence in the unswank Sherrington as her substitute for a vacation in the mountains), popping out brisk remarks, decanting an occasional drop of the Maxwellian philosophy, which undoubtedly seems headier after 2 a. m.

...Hollywood, fat Miss Maxwell stayed at the luxurious Beverly Hills house of thin Constance Bennett, was whisked from one bigwig's home to another in a green convertible automobile with white leather upholstery which had first been used for the California visit of the Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark.

After 24 hours of sub-zero freezing they are tempered at 30°, then thin-sliced and packed into six-layer steaks (a super-steak can be made by stacking two such steaks) and sold in two sizes, six-inch ovals for household use, four-and-a-half-inch ovals...
Queen Caroline's real genius, however, lay in the unobtrusive management of her pompous, stupid consort. When they came to the throne in 1727, she teamed with fat, jovial Sir Robert Walpole, then Prime Minister, to keep the King in line and to strengthen his Stuart-threatened dynasty. She even gave the benefit of her wiles to the miniaturist Frederick Zincke, whom she secretly warned "to make the King's picture young, not above 25." Flattered, George bade the painter "employ all your time in pictures for me, for I will take them...
