When, last January, President Roosevelt frowned a big black public frown on potent politicians who campfollow a new administration into Washington, the Democratic National Committee lost only two of its 106 members-James Bruce Kremer of Montana and Robert H. Jackson of New Hampshire. Fortnight ago, after the President had repeated his views on lawyer-lobbying, resignations began to fall by the handful. By last week it became apparent that this phase of the New Deal was leading to a new Democratic shuffle of the political cards in the dexterous fingers of James Aloysius Farley, Postmaster General and chairman...
Days Without End (by Eugene O'Neill; produced by the Theatre Guild). There is something extraordinary about every Eugene O'Neill play. In this one it is a ferocious mannikin with unbrushed hair, a flat, angry voice and a perpetual frown.

Children are made happy, Mothers smile instead of frown; Thank you, Mrs. Hutton - Other kind friends too, May all the joys you bring to us Come bouncing back to yon! Earlier in the week Mrs. Hutton had gone to the White House, where Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt, as honorary chairman of the Women's National Council...
...purchase (February-June 1929) of a controlling interest in Loew's, Inc. The deal cost him $73,000,000. Because it included Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as well as the Loew theatres, the deal made Mr. Fox incomparably the No. 1 Cinema Man. U. S. anti-trust laws, however, frown on such acquisition of shares in a competing company, and Mr. Fox kept after the Department of Justice to see if he could get an official okay on the transaction. He actually bought the Loew shares on the strength of a reported verbal agreement between one William Thompson...
