...York last week went the lot of them, where Messrs. Hackenbruch, Rosenbaum & Goldschmidt hope to recoup their five millions. As a starter they sold six pieces to the Cleveland Museum of Art, invited Cleveland's museum director plump, polite little William M. Milliken, to lecture on the exhibit's opening day as chief customer...
...given it up, studied drama at Max Reinhardt's school and played in the German version of Broadway when von Sternberg put her on contract. He said: "Thank God you are not like the American actresses. You can make more than three faces."

But no one was so sincerely missed as Tom Bull, the courtly, white-haired gentleman who for 42 years took tickets at the front door, last summer died...
...grizzlies, 450 black bears left. But if this number were allowed to increase, the food supply (berries, roots, garbage can contents) would not be enough to go around. Some of the animals would have to go hungry, might turn on small and tender or large and plump sightseers. Next year park rangers will be instructed to capture 30 black bears and ten grizzlies (the average annual increase). The animals will be sent to other U. S. parks, or to zoos short of bears...
