...Gondoliers" is a thing apart from the other Savoy Operas. It is true that the plot reveals the old familiar Gilbertian shreds and patches. Again you see the playwright, with the help of a Latin Little Buttercup, mix those children up, and not a creature knew it. Again, in republican Barataria, he puts down the mighty from their seat; and "ambassadors and such as they grow like asparagus in May, and dukes are three-a-penny." But the music, the whole atmosphere of the piece, is a different matter. It is flowing, Verdian, Rossinian, lightly serious, made of Latin lyricism...
...King (Universal). The last things any cinemaddict might expect to find in a mythical kingdom like Alvonia are Tony, Tom Mix's piebald cowpony, and Tom Mix himself, in a cowboy hat.

Marmaduke Grove said: "I declare emphatically the firm determination of the Army & Navy not to mix in politics but to continue fulfillment of their duty in protecting the Socialist Republic." General Puga, mum as an owl, retired...
...real change on Prohibition and to advise him to meet it with new tactics. A Wet from Wet Toledo, Mr. Brown suggested a platform declaration promising the people some sort of vote on the question. For weeks President Hoover was reluctant to drop what he considered his neutrality and mix in on Prohibition. The subject, because it was so largely emotional, made him impatient and cross. It was his wish to fight out the 1932 campaign on economic issues. He liked the slogan "Bread, not Beer." He feared that any notice he or his party might take of Prohibition would...
