...efficacy of a combination in restraint of trade to keep prices high. For over two decades they have been perfecting a combination-really a gigantic, cooperative Coffee Trust-which the world has found hard to beat. By systematic hoarding of the Sāo Paulo crop in good years and judicious release of these hoardings in bad they have made each and every U. S. coffee-drinker spend about 50? more per year for his coffee than he otherwise would. The U. S. coffee-drinker spends about $2.20 for raw coffee imported, pays a goodly extra sum to have...
...postcard & valentine business. Soon after came a divorce and Novelist John Fox Jr. (Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, Trail of the Lonesome Pine) succeeded him, was in turn succeeded by her manager, George Anderson, who was divorced in 1920. Since then Fritzi Scheff's fortunes have varied too. Good comic operas have been scarce since the days of Victor Herbert. Tales of temperament have frightened some managers. She has been forced to occasional vaudeville towns, to doing Modiste over the radio, taking a turn at legitimate dramatics. The brilliant career of a captivating person might thus have tapered away...

...consist of a heavy melodrama about a Mexican girl, a captain of the Texas Rangers, an alleged bandit. The vehicle is a handsome series of photographs, occasionally colored, of a musical comedy. Knowing that years of success had made the original music boring, the producers have put in some good new songs, the best being "Sweetheart, We Need Each Other." RKO's policy of revivifying somewhat shopworn stars by publicizing them as new discoveries has worked out well with Bebe Daniels. She may not have as good a voice as Ziegfeld's stage Rita (Ethylind Terry...
...heroine whose activities whether in college (The Campus Flirt), a newspaper office (Hot News), a bathing suit (Swim, Girl, Swim, The Palm Beach Girl), or more esoteric backgrounds (A Kiss in a Taxi, Lovers in Quarantine, Senorita), embodied a gaiety only faintly flavored with sentiment. Bebe Daniels had a good time and seldom took a holiday. She was engaged to Charles ("Fastest Human") Paddock, but called it off. One winter there was a popular song called "Bebe, Be Mine" and even now when she goes to a cabaret the orchestra leader usually recognizes her and starts to play...
