...disparagement for chorus girls, I wish to correct the statement made regarding me. I have never been a member of Mr. Ziegfeld's chorus or of any other producer's. I was, however, a principal in four Ziegfeld productions, a featured performer in Arthur Hammerstein's Golden Dawn, and the leading ingénue in the same producer's Good Boy earlier in the season, when I left to again be under Mr. Ziegfeld's management, and am contracted to play the ingenue in his production of East Is West...
...stood among his councilors, taller than any, "hot-looking, heavily perfumed" ?the new king. He was 18, golden-haired, pink-and-white, husky, gusty, eager to begin the business of running England.

Without much doubt there has been too much of this sort...
...Cuban restriction plan, like England's rubber restriction experiment, achieved quite opposite results. The rest of the sugar producing world saw a golden opportunity to make money. And while Cuban production fell from 5,125,970 tons in 1925 to 4,011,717 tons in 1928, the world crop, swelled by many a new cane and beet plantation, rose from 23,687,000 to 25,326,000.
