Friends of Mr. Sweeney (Warner). Asaph Holliday (Charles Ruggles), hero of this picture, is a journalistic guppy, small, ashamed and ludicrous, writing timid editorials in a journal of opinion called The Balance. When his old college mate, Rixey (Eugene Pallette), arrives in town, a change takes place in Asaph. He calls up his assistant (Ann Dvorak) and orders her to come to dinner. At a swank night club, to which he gains admittance by saying to the doorman "We are friends of Mr. Sweeney," he gambles coolly with $1,000 chips under the impression that they cost $1.

Washington was in fifth place. Philadelphia...
...Then he would travel with his Pullman chapel through New England. All this was to publicize, and raise money for, his missionary work in North Carolina. Many a Protestant minister travels about the land carrying the Gospel to rural districts by car and truck. But ST. PETER, and its mate ST. PAUL which is currently on show at the World's Fair in Chicago, are the only two chapel cars in all U. S. railroading. Descendant of ST. ANTHONY which was in use 25 years ago, ST.
