The only place, for which it was worth casting to the breeze a shirt, was Chicago, the most exciting city in the nation. This was not due merely to pineapples and racketeers. True, there were four bombings as the election approached, but they did not cause much damage and nobody bothered about them. They did not count. In Chicago an election means fun, excitement.

Many cinema fans, their memories bemused by thousands of flickering faces, have lost dollar bets on that fact. The girl who jumped over the cliff was Mae Marsh. Other bets have concerned the sisters' ages. Lillian is 32. Dorothy is 30. Just as pretty as Lillian (5 ft. 4 in. tall, red-blonde hair), cleverer perhaps, certainly shrewder, Dorothy wanted romance to be concrete...
