June Moon. Ring W. Lardner and George S. Kaufman are the authors of this satire on the noisiest of all "rackets," music publishing. It is as funny as a fusion of such wits would lead one to expect. Mr. Lardner has even gone so far as to write several crack-brained chansons which no one will be able to whistle but which everyone will want to hear again. The negligible story tells of a boy (Norman Foster) who leaves Schenectady to write lyrics in Manhattan. His June Moon is a success and, having narrowly escaped marriage with a shapely extortionist...
...once why King Alexander was willing to return to parliamentary government. Skillful jigsaw work had shaped the new states so as to split each of Jugoslavia's troublesome racial minorities. Six of the nine Banats contain a sizeable majority of Serbs. Especially vexed were the Croatians, noisiest and most troublesome of Jugoslavia's racial groups...
...with child. Joyce Stanton (Mildred McCoy) makes this strategic confession to G. A. Appleby (Harlan Briggs). Of course it is untrue-she is inspired by the plight of the family's housemaid.

James Stevens (Minor Watson), the tweedy young family lawyer, meets the issue by claiming...
Thus, the noisiest, longest and perhaps the most sincere demonstration of the Metropolitan Opera Company's season in Manhattan.

It was not easy, for Mozart operas have become so unfashionable that the Metropolitan dismisses him with one performance a season. But Miss Bori was allowed to sing Despina...
Alcohol roused the noisiest discussion. "The one fact that hits back at the legislation [on alcohol] is the fundamental physiological law, as demonstrated by physiological chemistry, that alcohol is a normal constituent of the brain tissue," stated Dr. Charles Alfred Lee Reed, University of Cincinnati professor emeritus of gynecology and onetime (1900-1901) president of the American Medical Association. He went on: "When this supply runs low there is a natural demand for alcohol as such." His declaration was reply to two papers on the subject, which had just been presented...
