...atones for lack of force by endearing benignity. He was just as endearing nearly 18 years ago when, with the late Ed Gallagher, he stepped out on a Bronx vaudeville stage to introduce a refrain that still echoes its "Positively, Mr. Gallagher. Absolutely, Mr. Shean." Gallagher & Shean kept the nation chuckling over their fresh lyrical topicalities for five years, until fame and boomtime stage salaries went to Gallagher's head. He dissipated fortune and health, died almost penniless. Shean preserved his equilibrium and his money, played on Broadway in Light Wines and Beer, Music in the Air, returned...
...Episcopal Church South, and the Methodist Protestant Church, were pleased last week to learn that by next summer they will probably belong to a new church, a plain Methodist Church. With 8,000,000 communicants, 20,000,000 constituents and 29,000 ministers, the new church will be the nation's largest Protestant body. Ratification of the merger of the three churches, proposed three summers ago (TIME, Aug. 26, 1935), requires assent of three-quarters of the conferences of each Methodist branch.

Stanford, the most erratic team on the Pacific Coast, still had a chance...

When his time came to speak, General Johnson simply growled to an estimated 17,000,000 NBC listeners...
...horse sense-in running my business. But from the first I was determined to run it in what I called a woman's way, because . . . after all, it was women who purchased gelatine." Mrs. Knox spent $500,000 on research, built an experimental kitchen and flooded the nation with gelatine recipes. She ordered the factory kept clean as a kitchen, beautified the grounds, abolished the rear door for employes because "we are all ladies and gentlemen here together." As one result Knox gelatine sales tripled in the first decade. As another, Knox has never had any labor trouble...
