...compete with Publisher Nast's civilized Vanity Fair and the bright New Yorker (TIME, June 16, 1930). Out of work at the time was bald, sociable, fortyish Arthur H. Samuels. He had written the first newspaper advertisement for The New Yorker five years prior, had urged Publisher Raoul H. Fleischmann to keep up the magazine during its dark early days. In 1928 he was made The New Yorker's associate editor and penny-watcher. Caught in a crossfire between Owner Fleischmann and Editor Harold Ross, he went to Europe. When he got back his job was gone...
...square on the floor of a Manhattan armory, 50 chessboards had been set up. Behind each board sat four men. In the middle of the square, alone against 200, stood a dapper, rather handsome man with keen eyes and a high forehead. He was the great Capa-Jose Raoul Capablanca-onetime chess champion of the world, newly returned to the U. S. after playing for two years abroad.

The worst that could fairly be said against his Government was that he recently accepted the resignation of Minister of Justice Raoul Peret when it appeared that many years ago M. Peret was the attorney of M. Albert Oustric, French swindler jailed last month. Senator René Héry of the Democratic Left who led the attack on M. Tardieu adroitly made the most of this...
...Kruger trying to extricate himself from an embarrassing situation when his wife and a detective raid his hideaway. Room of Dreams. This play had a complicated birth-written by Daniel Coxe from a translation by James L. A. Burrell and Anne Sprague MacDonald of the original Viennese of Ernest Raoul Weiss. But polyglot parentage cannot be entirely responsible for the nonsensical finished product which ushered in the New York Theatre Assembly's season. It seems that Lucien, unable to win Adrienne-his best friend's wife-has his rooms decorated precisely like the intimate chambers of his beloved...
