...Story. Meyer Hirsch tells the story of his life. First and foremost he was a Jew. Later he was a professional Jew-the Jew in politics. On a keen December evening "in ramshackle New York during the sprawling awkward age of its growth," Meyer, only child of sweatshop workers, grandson of a horse thief, returns from cheder (Hebrew school) to the "two little dark rooms in a rear house, kerosene lamps, water from the yard pump, toilet in back yard . . not even enough crockery or eating things," occupied by his parents and maternal uncle, Philip Gold.

The Yale News is foremost among these, assisted by "The Daily Texan", "The Michigan Daily", and "The Daily Californian", each taking charge of sections of the country.

Three Miles Out. A considerable female triumvirate cooperated in the manufacture of this article. Anita Loos (one of the foremost title writers), Neysa McMein (illustrator, author), and Madge Kennedy. Since the latter was allowed to contribute her features as well as her brains she seemed the cornerstone. Many and far flimsier celluloid structures have been reared on less substantial bases. The pictorial narrative concerns itself with bootlegging, love and a woman's wit. It is more than moderately entertaining. When Miss Kennedy is on, it is decidedly exciting...
