...farseeing, both good publicists. One, John Harvey?Dr. John Harvey? had recently invented his famed ready-cooked flaked cereals as a new form of food. Both knew the huge money possibilities of the new idea. But they differed inalterably on the disposition of earnings. John Harvey, a young doctor full of altruistic educational plans, considered the private accumulation of such gains unethical. Not so, Brother W. K. This one foresaw for himself independent wealth, private estates, gentlemanly diversions. They went to court. For almost a quarter-million dollars Brother W.

Ula Sharon, Tessa Kosta, Guy Robertson and a hitherto second-string funny man, Bernard Gorcey, will...

To day the too polished speaker is more apt to be distrusted than admired; the prevailing theory, unfortunate as it often is in its results, is that if a man be sufficiently full of his subject, the words will come. To betray attention to old time rules of inflection and gesture, imperfectly mastered, is far more disastrous to the modern speaker than to indicate the obvious fact that he has never studied...
