...winter edition of the New York Social Register gave the address of Mr. & Mrs. Curtis B. Dall as No. 49 E. 65th St., the President's town house. Last week the Social Register issued a "Dilatory Domicile" supplement of new addresses, gave for Mr. Dall: "Panache," Sleepy Hollow Rd., North Tarrytown, N. Y.; gave for Mrs. Dall, The White House, Washington, D. C. Son-in-law Dall was last a White House visitor last April...
...never fumbles when he clutches at the crossbar. Comic high spot is a mad pianist in "The Concert Party." A lacquer-haired caricature of Negro Singer Josephine Baker, star of a "Little Tropical Revue," wiggles and shakes menacingly. In "The Bullfight," a wilder burlesque than the others, a hollow-eyed toreador fliply kills the bull with super-human mag nificence. Plump, beaming Impresario Vittorio Podrecca adapted his Piccoli ("The little ones") from traditional Italian marionets, hates to have them called marionets or puppets. Charles Dillingham first brought him and his little ones to Manhattan in 1923 when they failed dismally...
...people of this city. . . . "You talk about dictatorship. None has been proposed. I am asking sound city management. Prudent businessmen . . . recognize it as business management.

...Wreck of the Old 97" was in the courts again and thus last week did Judge J. Warren Davis begin his opinion in the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. What Judge Davis had to decide was whether or not David Graves George, a spare, hollow-cheeked old hillbilly who still works for the Southern Railroad, had written the version of the "Old 97" sung by Vernon Dalhart on a Victor phonograph record in 1924. Hillbilly George claimed that he wrote the song in 1903, a week after he had helped to pry nine bodies...
...Speaker of the House, by tradition, is above party but the leader of the majority is not. Upon Tennessee's long, lean, hollow-eyed Joseph Byrns fell the job of running the Democratic steamroller smoothly and successfully through to adjournment. He, too, predicted "harmony" at the outset of the session. But, just to make sure, Leader Byrns went to work on a change in the House rules which now makes it possible for 145 disgruntled members to get together and upset the best laid plans of the majority...
