Chafing at delay, the Democratic National Congressional Committee made Oklahoma's McClintic chairman of a patronage board to prod the Administration for more jobs. Representative McClintic discovered that of the 800 places in the Library of Congress, only 50 were held by party followers. He wanted something done about that right away. He also found that Presidents Harding, Coolidge & Hoover had by executive order "blanketed" into the Civil Service 4,500 jobs. Representative McClintic wanted President Roosevelt to issue another executive order blanketing them...
Just a year before that, another workman had been charged with sabotage. Few people took that very seriously. But the McDonald-Underwood story caused Navy-heckling Representative James V. McClintic of Oklahoma to demand, and get, an investigation by the Naval Affairs Committee. The Committee heard Goodyear-Zeppelin officials and Navy inspectors call the charges absurd. As a final gesture, the Committee set put to take a ride in the Akron.

In the latest posthumous melodrama of prolific Edgar Wallace to reach this country are: an ancient English family seat where two murders have been committed; an imperious lady (Alexandra Carlisle) who goes about praising her ancestors and trying to hide evidence; her amiable son (Emlyn Williams), her frightened niece (Katherine Wilson); two plug-ugly footmen, one romantic, one comic and one effective police officer.

...Truth About Blayds (by A. A. Milne; Guthrie McClintic, producer). A revival of The Truth About Blayds after ten years is depressing. It reveals all the promise that Playwright Milne once showed. In 1921-22 three Milne plays were produced in the U. S.: Blayds, The Great Broxopp and delightful Dover Road. The first and last were thought of as works of considerable merit. They had principle, and although neither was written with incontestable consistency, each was written with undeniable brightness and charm. There is still lots of charm in Blayds, the tale of an eminent Victorian who lived...
