...words of a song which State Motor Vehicles Commissioner Charles A. Harnett distributed among 150 assorted businessmen, Broadway sports and has-been politicians who sailed down New York Harbor one morning last week aboard the lighter Charlie White to greet James John Walker.

...Dream had got beyond the casting stage in Hollywood, London literary bigwigs were holding indignation meetings to denounce Hollywood's "impudence" in meddling with such a classic. In London last week, where U. S. Ambassador Bingham, Mrs. Winston Churchill, the Marquess of Queensberry, Sir Philip Ben Greet, and a theatre full of their peers saw the opening. newspaper critics agreed that A Mid-summer Night's Dream was "exquisite." '"dazzling," ''magnificent," "of extraordinary beauty." In Manhattan, where so many reviewers attended the first night that the gala premiere for celebrities had to be held...
