...with a luncheon in the Red Lacquer Room of Chicago's Palmer House for 457 such friends of the livestock and meat industry as Chairman William Bishop Warner of the National Association of Manufacturers, Hotelman Ralph Hitz, Railroader John Jeremiah Pelley, Editor Glenn Frank, Publisher Robert Rutherford McCormick. Convening from all over the nation, the 457 spent 180 minutes eating sirloin beef roast and hearing how the I. A. M. P. was girding up its sirloins to battle against underconsumption...
...chance came when Chicago's art-conscious celebrity-chaser. Mrs. Charles B. Goodspeed, steered him toward Yeast Tycoon Julius Fleischmann, who had cherished a secret passion to patronize the arts. Upshot was the organization of the World-Art group with backing ($500,000) by Fleischmann, Harold F. McCormick and other Midwest socialites. De Basil lost not only his principal working choreographer (Massine) to the new group, now named The New Ballet Russe, but long-legged Ballerinas Tamara Toumanova and Alexandra Danilova, and the aegis of crafty Concert Manager Sol Hurok as well...
Married. Ganna Walska d'Eighnhorn Fraenkel Cochran McCormick, 45, Polish-American opera singer, perfumer, feminist, whose four previous husbands had owned fortunes totaling $125,000,000; to Harry Grindell-Matthews, 57, inventor of the "death ray," which knocked out a cow 200 yards distant at its first British War Office tests; in London.

The representer is as Irish as the represented, and the Abby Players have done as much as Mr. O'Casoy in creating the persons of his plays. F. J. McCormick is Commandant Jack Clitheree, who quits the Irish Citizen's Army at the supplication of his wife, but returns when he learns that he is in a position of command, and dies. Mr. McCormick is a great actor, but he is the most shadowy of the major figures in this play. Eileen Crowe...
...dangerously prominent, since the first act of the tragedy is pure comedy. Eileen Crowe is superb for the role of "Juno" Boyle, who receives her divinely regal name for the internal reason that everything in her life happened in June, but for dramatic reasons less fortuitous. F. J. McCormick has created his part of "Joxer" Daly, the fawning hanger-on and salve to the Captain's petty pride, and his rendition of the character is therefore perfect. All the lesser roles are filled with skill to be expected only of acors so devoted to their work as the Abbey Players...
