Otha Wearin, meantime, was playing up the Hopkins endorsement for all it was worth. It made him, he insisted, manifestly the anointed choice of the White House. Scornfully he exposed an effort by Senator Herring to get him to sign a post-primary peace agreement with Senator Gillette. This, he said, was an insidious effort by the Senators to suggest that...
...most famed matinee idol in cinema history to play a dual role-the Sheik and the Sheik's son, who is finally rescued by the Sheik from a cutthroat gang. Immediate consequence of its successful revival was naturally a race between proprietors of other old Valentino pictures to get their products to the screen. Also on view was The Sheik (1921), which, as an example of an even cruder school of cinema production, was exhibited in a mood of frank burlesque, with a bald-headed pianist thumping out The Sheik of Araby to make the audience laugh...
...current for some time that Simone Simon can sing. When trying she produces noises which are not unpleasing but remain unintelligible because she never lets articulation interfere with her famed pout.

Trickier to get on and off than an old-fashioned boiled shirt, hemmed in by a landscape as disheveled as a Congressman's collar, the trapped and trammeled Washington-Hoover Airport has since 1926 been a fliers' nightmare.

Experimental Farm and, until a month...
...Hornbostel, designer of the Hell Gate Bridge. Physically unlike as partners in a musical comedy team, Hornbostel and Bennett nevertheless had much in common. They studied at the Beaux Arts together, returned to the U. S. at the low point of the Depression, picked up whatever work they could get in the days when 90% of U. S. architects were unemployed. Bennett designed store fronts, electric signs, posters; Hornbostel got a job with...
