...Maire's Affairs. There are those who deplore burlesque in favor of more subtle satire like Americana. Others love display, like Lucky. Some would prefer Le Maire's Affairs, full of crudely ridiculous skits, awkward clowning (by Charlotte Greenwood), amazing absurdities (by Lester Allen), pretty chorus girls, striking ensembles. Two numbers, the cameo dance and the minstrel drill are as pleasing to the eye as anything in town. The skits are funny-at times, definitely embarrassing; Ted Lewis' band jazzes well toward the end.

...make it seem like good grain. And they falsified their books to claim more grain sold than actually existed. This was reprehensible, decided Arbitrator Brown. The buyers had no warning to beware; should not have needed such warning. J. Ogden Armour and his nephews Philip D. Armour and Lester Armour will have to pay over this money, for, although they knew nothing of their nefarious employes' doings they are The Armour Grain Co.
