...take the large share of lucrative offices in provincial administration due to them under the Constitution - or whether they will adopt "wrecking tactics." The Constitution was written with both alternatives firmly in the mind of Sir Samuel Hoare. Thus, if the 1,585 Deputies cooperate and join Viceroy Lord Linlithgow in making the Constitution work, well and good. If they resort to wrecking tactics, the Constitution empowers first the provincial governors and ultimately the Viceroy completely to overrule the new Legislatures. At the special Wardha strategy committee last week, Mr. Gandhi was said to be for cooperation, President Nehru...
...appeal is for $2,500,000 for purposes "other than medical research." That has been amply taken care of by open-handed Lord Nuffield, the most princely Oxford benefactor since William of Wykeham or Henry VIII. Lord Nuffield, who used to run a cycle shop for undergraduates on the High and whose Morris motorcar works in nearby Cowley now make outlying Oxford town resemble a small Detroit, startled Oxford recently by handing over $10,000,000 to realize Sir Farquhar Buzzard's dream of a university medical centre (TIME, Jan. 4).

Lord Kelton (Frank Morgan), the richest peer in England, as well as young Lord Billing have proposed to her on the evening when, out of well-bred loyalty to her accomplices, she cracks the duchess' safe. When Lord Billing surprises her in the act of handing over her booty...
...Hurley as bass, and catching the eye of scouts, they moved down to the big money in New York. Under Charles Frohman for three years, A. H. Woods for three, and Arthur Hopkins from 1918 - 1924, he was combination actor and director of plays with all three Barrymores, Pauline Lord, and John Drew. His greatest success as a free-lance director were "The Firebrand"' which ran two years, and an operetta, "The Desert Song"' which indicated his talent for musicals...
