...Sturdy, speed-loving Richard F. Hoyt, through Hayden, Stone & Co's stockholdings, controlled the Garden. He chose a canal & railroad engineer and heavy Garden stockholder, William F. Carey, to be president of the Garden. But it soon became evident that the sports empire of Rickard was a hollow thing without Rickard to run it. Last year Carey, who had ousted Hammond as general manager, was succeeded by Colonel John Reed Kilpatrick, another ex-Army man and oldtime Yale footballer...
Fundamentally this seemed no great crime. Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover were never accused of bribery-by-belly when they hauled hollow-eyed politicians out of bed to attend early breakfasts at the White House and listen to Presidential persuasion. But Britain took the Churchill charge seriously. Grave under his wig, Speaker the Rt. Hon.

...Shatter'd Lamp is helped through some awkward soliloquies by intelligent performances, notably the hollow-eyed acting of Effie Shannon. She plays the Jewish wife of mild, aryan, pacifist Professor Opal (Guy Bates Post) who teaches in a Bavarian university. Their son Karl (Owen Davis Jr.) and his fiancée are admirers of Adolf Hitler.

Professor Opal loses his job, bank account, friends; Karl his Storm Troop membership and fiancée. Frau...

By then a new theory had arisen, wild as anything in the entire case: Judge Prince was murdered by a gang of professional criminals that...
...pale and dignified in a black gown and white wig, last week sat 82-year-old Justice Sir Horace Avory. Before him, also gowned and wigged, were two of the greatest trial barristers in all Britain-Sir Patrick Hastings for the prosecution, Sir William Jowitt for the defense. Handsome, hollow-eyed Princess Irina Alexandrovna Youssoupov was suing Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Ltd. for damages. She charged that she had been libeled and her character defamed by a rape episode in MGM's cinema Rasputin, the Mad Monk. The courtroom was jampacked by a curious crowd which knew that...
