...Christmas pantomimes have not been wholly pure-i.e., perfectly silent-for a long time. Singing & dancing have been customary since 1723, spoken dialogue since 1814. The great joy of every panto player is the matchless exuberance of his audience. Last year Nervo & Knox, two fine slapstickers with 26 years in panto, so worked up their youthful audience against the Baron (Variety Artist Eddy Gray) that he could not speak his lines for the din; when Nervo yelled, "Come on, kids, let's kill the Baron," more than a hundred of them stormed on to the stage and stopped...
...each class attained some prominence within each field (prominence being defined as inclusion in the professional yearbook. or "Who's Who"), while men with honor degrees achieved high places within the professions twice as readily as did non-honors men.

Calder in Knox-like tones: unless the U.S. drastically increases its overall imports, the "gap will be filled either by denuding our customers of their limited resources, or by providing them, through loans or gifts, with additional purchasing power...
...Since Knox died in 1944, New Englanders have swapped many a rumor about his papers: Hearst was dickering for them; the Gannett chain was knocking at the door; Scripps-Howard would move in. Last week tanned, boyish-faced William Loeb, 41, crusading publisher of two small Vermont dailies, had taken-over in Manchester-and to help swing the $1,250,000 deal (he had put up only $250,000 of his own) had invited in a trio of shrewd news tycoons that New Hampshire had hardly heard of: the Ridder Bros., of New York and points west, whose favorite reading...
