...selling, best-known mascara in the world, Maybelline, an absolutely harmless, non-smarting eyelash darkener that contains no dye or aniline derivative, we have suffered untold damage to our old established business by the ambiguous publicity given out concerning the Tugwell bill. In a recent issue of the Paramount Newsreel, Professor Tugwell told a truly appalling tale of injuries caused by a poisonous preparation, but neglected to give its name as "Lash-Lure" or to state that it was a dye, merely calling it an eyelash "beautifier," and concluding his speech with the dreadful remark, "This is the kind...
...close friendship he spends most of his evenings alone, finds distraction, when not working, in his violin and in censoring cinemas. Came news last week that the Dictator had shushed the U.

One steps forward to say: "We want the world to know that whether on the football field or in life, Princeton men can take it." Through the hip-and-thigh farce that shook Manhattan audiences...
Universal Newsreel's Cameraman Joseph Gibson endeavored to cover both the rooftop snipers and the soldiers blazing away below. Pitching his cinecamera on a hotel roof he started to grind. Soon Cameraman Gibson was out of action with four bullets through his legs. Friends bandaged him but soldiers burst in and tore the bandages off. "Those shots never came from our guns!" they announced after inspecting the wounds. "It was the Communists...
