...Honeymoon. Most of the dialogue is divided between baby talk and the rasping argot of the underworld. Most of the interest is divided between a pair of pajamas and a package of stolen bonds. What comedy there is rests with a "dern it" constable and the illness of the hero on smoking his first cigar. Of the group, the pajamas are the most satisfactory...
...this same Scholar will unbend so far as to slide 50 cents under the box office grating the next time a burlesque troupe settles in the local auditorium he will suddenly feel younger. The rising curtain will reveal: first a pair of feet that are not mates, next a pair of checkered pantaloons merging into a green vest, finally a long and astonishingly rubric nasal organ.

The engine starts at the pressing of a button ? gone are the days when mechanics had to swing a propeller painfully and dangerously and many times. Passengers are partially...

Later Dick Rover was blessed with a son and daughter, as was also his brother Sam, while the fun-loving Tom became the father of a pair of lively twin boys." Dick, Tom, and Sam now live in adjacent dwellings on Riverside Drive. They would. And all three are in business in Wall Street - with The Rover Company, Inc. - and undoubtedly they lunch together on crackers-and-milk, that manna of the American business man, and they have...
