...Dallas, fortnight ago, citizens went to the polls and voted to have a city manager instead of their picturesque Mayor J. Waddy ("Hot Dog") Tate. Thus on May 1 they will join Cleveland, Cincinnati, Rochester (N. Y.), and 392 managerized U. S. cities where at present there is no major civic scandal.

Arthur Sinclair (McDonnell), 47, is a Dubliner by birth, studied for the bar, abandoned the legal profession when he was 17 to join the famed Irish Players at the Abbey theatre. In 1911 he made his U. S. debut in The Rising of the Moon. He later appeared in The Playboy of the Western World.
