...days last week, the Holy Father Pius XI addressed 15,000 War veterans of 15 nations in the Basilica of St. Paul's Outside the Walls thus: "It is with inexpressible joy that, if we have well understood, we seem to see on the black horizon a rainbow of peace which seems to diffuse its rays over the world. This is peace made of justice, charity, honor, dignity and respect for all rights. It is peace which announces happiness for everybody. Peace is the primary condition for all prosperity, and therefore we shall always pray for peace. All the world...
...First Auto (see cut), in which a swank couple in duster and goggles buy a two-cylinder Pope-Hartford, take to the open road, encounter a thunderstorm, suffer a breakdown (which they attempt to mend with a gimlet and a hatchet), and finally drive on into a sentimental rainbow. More rough & tumble were Beale's ideas of Mrs. Casey's goat which butted a respectable Philadelphian into a watering trough or Uncle Rastus and His Mule. Literature particularly attracted the Professor. He made illustrations for such things as Evangeline, Hiawatha, The Courtship of Miles Standish, Elegy...

Not until February was he allowed to assemble an orchestra. Two weeks later he was broadcasting for Coty Perfume...
...Rainbow Room customers expected to see a showman last week they were roundly disappointed when quiet Ray Noble conducted his men. His easy gestures were all from the wrist. Occasionally he tapped his foot, sometimes sat at a piano, pattered a bit. He had gathered first-rate U. S. players and, unlike many a conductor, he freely admits his debt to them. Trombonist Glen Miller is one of the best "hot men" in the U. S. And so is Bud Freeman, Noble's tenor saxophone. Only two of the musicians came from London with Noble: Bill Harty, his manager...
