...Herex: "The cast, though accidentally chosen, was splendid for type. . . . The star, Dorothy Pollak, pretty enough to get by if she knows her lines, and simply but smartly dressed in the funeral finery she wore on the sad occasion when she tried to hurl herself into the late Joe's grave (see earlier installments...
Last week, on the eve of the debut of his Sunday Times, Publisher Thomason began to learn how the Tribune and "Herex" (both priced at 10?) propose to protect themselves against the 5? tabloid.

In 1918 the Examiner swallowed the Herald which, prior to that, had absorbed the Times* Record and Inter Ocean. The story of the Herald & Examiner is in general that of any Hearst paper in any big city; but even more sensational, more blatant because of Chicago's shocking newspaper history. Wherever seasoned newsmen gather, tales are told of the Herex's famed exploits. There was the time when the late "Hildy" Johnson (TIME, April 20) got an exclusive...
