...Committee for Industrial Organization, John Lewis was rapidly becoming a potent force in national as well as industrial affairs. Reporters in the Senate Press Gallery knew it fortnight ago when they saw the baleful glare Miner Lewis cast down on West Virginia's snaggle-toothed Rush Holt as that daring young man filibustered the substitute Guffey Coal Control Bill and possibly his own public career into the discard. Newshawks at the White House knew it when John Lewis stomped grimly into the President's office next day. And correspondents in the press box at the Democratic Convention last...
...cause lay in the fact that Clark Gable did not say his prayers at night. Gable is Blackie Norton, owner of a notorious café, and Miss MacDonald is his No. 1 chanteuse. Father Tim (Spencer Tracy) struggles to make a convert out of Blackie while Mr. Burley (Jack Holt) struggles to make an opera singer out of the chanteuse, so that she will be worthy of his manor on Nob Hill. The Burley plan is succeeding much better than Father Tim's when the bricks begin to rain...

A.; William Albinius ("Al") Harris, Philadelphia adman; and John Duncan Harris, cotton millman of Manchester...
Designed by Cram & Ferguson, present architects of Manhattan's Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the small marble chapel stands opposite Mrs. Harris' old home, "In the Valley." Present for the dedication were Hamilton Holt and Managing Editor John Paschall of the Atlanta Journal, which published her last work. Editor George Horace Lorimer of the Satevepost sent a literary tribute which was read. He also editorialized in last week's Post: "Long may the memory of Corra Harris remain green. Long may pilgrims visit her exquisite little chapel and behold her simple homestead, still open to visitors...
