...carnival business who takes money from unsuspecting fools in the game of Ace, King, Queen. His name is Mace, and he falls in love with a girl who has been filched of all her money by his partner in crime. The girl is Sylvia Sidney, and you are mistaken, she does not weep, and pity herself for twenty minutes. I have been wary in the past of placing any superlatives on Miss Sideny's ability, but she shows in "Good Dame" that she is as capable an actress as can be found in Hollywood today. One may object...
...flew across the ocean with only a sandwich for company, who was so blushing and modest and gawky in the face of virtual deification, who got bored at a risque musical comedy, who ostentatiously spurned liquor and lechery, do anything ignoble? Unfortunately, Lindy has been as mistaken in his analysis of the public temper as he was in his estimation of Roosevelt's naivete; the people are, in fact, damn sick and tired of these Clean Cut Young Men; Mr. James Cagney has been substituted as a somewhat bawdier idol, and even the self-conscious college rake with a girl...
Never was an .able newsman more mistaken. By the time Mr. Pettey's dispatch reached the U.

Since the open break between the Administration and Tammany in the New York mayoral election, the 24 erstwhile Tammany Congressmen have begun taking orders from the White House, not from the Hall. Boss McCooey's complete undoing was forecast last week when Brooklyn's Sheriff Frank J. Quayle announced...
...submerged many a man saw in his mind's eye the members of Congress assembling in an inundated Capitol wading through the green waters of the flood, legislating in a sea of deep greenbackery. Last week the prophets of catastrophe saw that they were at least in part mistaken. The flood looked silvery, not green and the direction of its drift indicated that it had turned into another course. No shouts of "Greenbacks! Give us Greenbacks!" rose from the Capitol, but 20 Congressmen adopted a resolution, previously framed by 18 Silver Senators, calling for bimetallism-free and unlimited coinage...
