...several times each week in an effort to find out just how much money the world spends on armaments. So pleasant did they find each other's company that one weekly meeting was converted into a Beer Club. Last week they published their report and sadly blew the froth off a final meeting. Seventeen months of effort could produce no authoritative figures later than 1931, when the world spent about $6,000,000,000 for guns, warships, tanks, poison gas, airplanes, bombs and bullets of every variety. And even for that year many small nations would submit no complete...
...these people at a Second Empire hotel is broader and deeper than his manner would indicate. "Tender is the Night" gives the uneasy impression of being a potboiler as Compton MacKenzie's Italian and detective stories give it; for just as Mr. MacKenzie cannot keep out of his froth, phrased as froth, some of his more sober merit, Mr. Fitzgerald gives us disturbing glimpses of a kind of writing different from any that he has ever done. Mr. MacKenzie does the other kind, often; perhaps Mr. Fitzgerald will do it some day, also...
...While churchgoers were digesting this, 47 Nazi brides and bridegrooms marched through Berlin in snakedance formation led by a blaring Storm Troop band. At the huge Lazarus-Kirche perspiring Pastor Lenkning married them in batches, sent them off rejoicing to a Bohemian brewery where they blew froth with 1,000 wedding guests. Popping up among the brides & bridegrooms, club-footed Dr. Goebbels urged them, all at the top of his lungs to increase & multiply, bestowed on each couple "a picture of myself and family" (i. e. self, wife, daughter & stepson). But at sundown there came a sobering voice from...
Shouldering its way through the froth of summer fiction comes this leviathan of U. S. novels. Pre-eminent in size (1,224 pp.; 2¾ Ib.) but not in size alone, this big-boned romance may well strike terror into readers effetely accustomed to smaller, more playable fish, or to the monotonous diversity of a blank waste of waters. But those readers who allow themselves to be swallowed whole will emerge, some time later, grateful for the experience...
Beer put a froth of new revenue on last week's Treasury announcement of April tax receipts. From April 7 to May 1, the $5-per-bbl. tax, the $1,000-per-year brewers' tax, the $50-per-year wholesalers' tax and the $20-per-year retailers' tax netted the U. S. $9,138,863 in 35 States. At that rate (surely below actual) the U. S. would realize some $110,000,000 per year from beer. In 23 days beer-bibbers in New York contributed $2,290,686 in Pennsylvania $1,363,704, in Wisconsin...
