...made; eats luncheons at Thompson's in preference to dining at the Copley Plaza, the Touraine, the Statler. Born 49 years ago in Maiden (suburb of Boston), Governor Fuller left school at the age of 14, taking a job in a rubber factory to help support his widowed mother. At 17 he went into business for himself, opened a bicycle repair shop. On Saturday afternoons he rode in bicycle races, became Junior Champion of the vicinity, added thus to his fame, his income. But it was in four-wheeled, not two-wheeled, vehicles that he made his fortune. Like...
...William H. Felton of Cartersville, Ga., is the type of woman to whom people are always giving laudatory titles-"the outstanding woman of the South," "Georgia's Grand Old Lady," "Good Mother Felton," "Georgia's Oldtime Peach." And who can say that Mrs. Felton does not deserve them? It is true that sh? sat in the U. S. Senate for only two days in 1922, but no other woman has ever sat there as a member.

The annual statement, composed of a few hundred arabic numerals, naturally told nothing of the internal affairs of the Ford Motor Co. President Edsel B. Ford and his father and mother still make that their private business. They own all the outstanding shares-172,645, of the company's 1,000,000 shares, and they can chat of their yearly earnings over the dinner table. So none will tell what they drew as last year's dividends, although...
...Bound. Nance O'Neil was last week seen sobbing her way through gloomy Fog-Bound, a piece of Long Island coast drama by Hugh Stange. The plot is: 1) Hester tells mother that she wants to marry Lem Ross instead of Capt. Ezra Tuttle because she loves Lem but not Ezra. Mother faints. 2) Hester marries Ezra. He is cruel. 3) Eighteen years later Lem returns, wants Hester to run away and live in sin. She refuses on account of daughter born between scenes. Lugubrious Fog-Bound is lightened by Miss O'Neil's portrayal of Hester...
