...obtained. Last week the Warren articles were bound in a pamphlet, titled Venereal Diseases & Prophylaxis, priced at 5?, put on sale in the News Information Bureau, where the helpful journal also peddles at nominal rates sound advice on cookery, fashions, reducing exercises. To top it all, the News took generous space in its own pages to advertise Venereal Diseases & Prophylaxis, thus breaking all records in modern metropolitan journalism for frankness on an elaborately tabooed subject...
...Paul Matthews, portly, white-crowned High Churchman, onetime Dean of the Cathedral in Cincinnati, into whose Procter (Ivory Soap) family he married. Currently Bishop Matthews is engrossed with a slowly rising, million-dollar cathedral of his own, to which Trenton's bridge-building Roeblings have been generous. Nearing 70, Bishop Matthews has indicated a wish to retire. The man who has served as his Bishop Coadjutor, Albion Williamson Knight, retired last autumn because of his years (76). Offered this post with the right of succession, Manhattan's Dr. Gardner, a stocky, affable bachelor of 52, announced his acceptance...
Unwarranted increases in salaries, the utter disregard of personal expense for which the executive department is notorious, are two of the cesspools into which the taxpayers' money drains. Another and more insidious one is the creation by a generous legislature of wildcat administrative boards, for which no other excuse can be found except the legislators wish to help their friends and constituents. Such a typical parasite's paradise is the lately conceived board of regulation for hair-dressers, which starts its career with a request for $18,000 for personal services, and $13-800 for travel--for the thirteen members...
...industry throughout the British Isles on a basis of Wartime control by the Government over the activities of Capital & Labor. Under a Prime Minister who is the leisured scion of Baldwins Ltd., hereditary British iron founders, Labor considered itself sure last week to get the meagre end of a generous square deal for Capital. Under the White Paper scheme, selected British firms capable of armament production would be guaranteed in peace time sufficient Government orders to keep their works operating profitably, ready for instant changeover to highest-geared war production of munitions. Labor did not believe the White Paper...
There are times when the proceedings bog down to a somewhat tiring trot, but in general the situation are amply amusing. Barbara Brown has taken over Miss Gladys George's role and does it up in generous fashion. She coos, whimpers, dramatizes, wiggles, and occasionally slips into a very amusing deep-toned vulgarity of speech. Her language is not sufficiently secure to prevent her from "commuting with her soul," contrasting the interior of the house with the "ulterior," and being quite laughable indeed. George Blackwood plays Bud nicely and the rest of the cast is eminently satisfactory...
