...first place, there is the proposal that there be a bonus and a partial tax reduction. The Republican insurgents and a good proportion of the regulars of both parties favor this proposal, and there is no doubt that it will break party lines. The success of this proposal will depend entirely on whether a bonus bill can be passed- and that hinges on two or three votes one way or another to pass or defeat passage of a bonus over the President's assumed veto...
Senator Johnson's campaign pronouncements have been noticeably mild and have had more the ring of astute politics than of reforming zeal. It is significant, perhaps, that Mr. Hitchcock has replaced Senator Borah and that the latter is almost partial to Coolidge.

We are not partial toward choruses; ordinarily we much prefer to have them stay off-stage entirely and leave the principals alone, but this chorus is an added attraction. Hal Skelly dances well, as does Mary Hay, who plays Mary Jane, and does everything else well too, but it is the Keene twins...
