...Lombardo, Donald Duck, and Annabella combine to make this week's show at Keith's the best we have seen in lo! these many moons. The Royal Canadians are the big attraction, and rightly so. Giving generously of their wares, they occupy a very pleasant hour with some fifteen numbers including "Ten Pretty Girls," "Whistle While You Work," and "Tippy Tin." Morover, they add finishing touches to the vaudeville numbers, and, except when they enter the vocal realm, go over with a resounding bang. When the "sweetest music this side of heaven" fades away, the stage is taken over...

Rightist sympathizers blamed the CTM (Confederation of Mexican Workers) for the clash. Faced with the accusation, Confederation Secretary-General Vicente Lombardo Toledano coyly attributed the attack to "some people passing by who heard the Vanguard attacking the Government and rushed to its defense...

One fine Sunday recently, 25,000 CTMists (Confederation of Mexican Workers) assembled before the National Palace in the capital to hear their labor boss, large-eared, dapper Vincente Lombardo Toledano, CTM Secretary General. Shouting, waving his arms, Orator Toledano hurled imprecations at the enemies of labor. The Mexicanos were enthusiastic, but not enough to suit Toledano. Dramatically pausing, the fiery-eyed labor leader leaned forward on the rostrum to grip his listeners once more. He was going to tell them something...
