But in Hadley Technical High School, St. Louis, by virtue of a resolution of the school board, he has been known as a custodian. Last week the citizens of St. Louis made Janitor Nagel another kind of custodian: he was elected a member of the city board of education...

The Legion, outdistanced at the start by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in the drive for World War II members (TIME, Oct. 4), had now begun to sign them up in earnest...
...rest of the cast is much the same as the New York troupe. Conrad Nagel, who replaced Frederic March as Mr. Antrobus last year, is excellent; Florence Reed, one of Broadway's best supporting actresses, does admirably as the prophetic fortune-teller...
