There were four others, but because of his journalistic past and his beribboned spectacles and his imposing paunch, Mr. Beamish received most attention from the press. For six months he proceeded to put Pennsylvania utilities, in his own phrase, "through the wringer." The rates of Philadelphia Electric Co., for example, were lowered so as to reduce its revenue more than $3,000,000 a year. And last week he was feeling especially satisfied, for in a wild scene that would not have been out of place in a comic opera, he had at last succeeded in humiliating his old antipathy...
Boyer plays the Little Corporal in the manner every actor under five feet ten has always dreamt of playing him. He pulls his forelock down, sticks out his upper lip, and shows a paunch (artificial).

For five years Sparrow Gigli warbled in Continental concerts, grew a paunch in Munich beer halls, dabbled in German cinemas. Then Hollywood finally called him again to the U. S. Last week, much fatter than in his Metropolitan heyday and resembling both New York's Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia and Chicago's Scarface Al Capone, he made...
