Rubber Jerry Luvadis, Announcer Joe Humphreys and Estelle Taylor, who in comparatively private life is Mrs. Jack Dempsey, also appear in roles which approximate their normal occupations. Mrs. Dempsey is not, as commonly supposed, a star entirely of the screen; in her early youth an invalid, she grew up to be first a beauty-contest winner, then an actress in stock companies as well as the cinema. She and her husband both speak their lines in The Big Fight in a curious but not unattractive monotone...
...Barton, Durstine & Osborne Co., Inc., not so long established but equally famed. Last week some 40 members of the Batten organization gathered in their directors' room.

He is jealous of his wife's bridge clubs, golf, children; his is a supremely introversive ego. This good piece recounts the story of John Payson, green-ired husband of Nan. John (John Boles) wants to lead his wife's life. From...
...come over here expecting to find Harvard a hotbed of collegiatism; my disillusionment was most welcome," John Maud, Davidson Scholar from Oxford declared in an interview with a CRIMSON reporter last night. "Coming over on the boat I had read several novels of College life in America, and I must confess that I proceeded to Harvard with the greatest trepedation. Oxford is tremendously amused at the so called 'College Spirit...
