...Done It (by Mary Coyle Chase; Brock Pemberton, producer) is notable for being the first play to emerge from the sub-professional Federal Theatre as a regular Broadway production. There its distinction ends, for in spite or because of extensive revision by Director Antoinette Perry (Strictly Dishonorable) and her daughter Margaret's determined impersonation of a bordello's ex-cashier who gets a pretentious politician's family in and out of several difficulties, the show struck most critics as being stereotyped, strained, spurious...
...that KVOS was not "unfairly competing" with A. P., refused to grant the injunction. When a U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed this decision, the National Association of Broadcasters decided it had had enough and withdrew. Carrying on by himself, sturdy Rogan Jones retained Lawyer William H.

In Carmen Manager Longone interpolated a floor show by the popular dance team, Veloz & Yolanda. His innovation had its box-office effect but purists shuddered at his taste, as they did again when he permitted a Buick sedan...
Arthritis. Dr. Ralph Pemberton of Philadelphia gave this advice both to those who suffer from atrophic arthritis (affliction of youngish people) and hypertrophic arthritis (affliction of old people): "About 80% of persons suffering from chronic arthritis should be greatly relieved and, if the bony changes have not gone too far, actual cure is often possible [by general therapy]. There is no short cut to this goal, and the patient must be able to supply the necessary pertinacity, patience and cooperation, especially in long standing cases, if he is to emerge on a new plane of health...
