...prove as rapidly as possible.* But Kansas City's method of proof was different from most. Instead of selling expensive subscriptions and then giving a concert, it gave the concert first. The Chamber of Commerce and civic organizations persuaded Conductor Arnold Volpe, once a Kansas Cityzen himself, to recruit an orchestra of 88 musicians. Then it announced two concerts for last week, average price 25? so that no music lover would have to stay home on account of Depression. Few did. Four thousand of them made their way to Convention Hall in limousines, taxicabs, streetcars, busses, on foot. Curious...
...Pathe would be David Selznick, that his policies would determine the management of both companies. In general, Radio pictures will, for the future, be made at a lower than average (for Hollywood) cost. The Selznick idea is to develop stars rather than buy them ready made; to recruit acting and directorial talent from the Manhattan stage; to hold down production costs by avoiding some of the most flagrant waste motion common and to some extent unavoidable in cinemanufacture.

All of which makes it disappointing that Sob Sister emerges as a routine, though fairly lively, drama dedicated to the stale proposition that newshawks are animated by semi-religious loyalty to their employers...
...unlikely that Coach Mitchell will send Taylor, a young recruit pitcher who started and won his first major game against Rhode Island State last week, to the mound against Tufts. If he does well against the Jumbos he may get a chance in the Yale series since neither Ticknor or Page has shown any great success of late. Andruszkiewicz, who did not lose a game until last week, will do the pitching for Tufts tomorrow. The Medford nine has a crack team this season and will give the Crimson a good stiff test prior to the climatic series with...
Overshadowed only by the vaulting of Brown in Class A was the victory of N. W. Goodhue of Milton Academy in the half-mile run. Goodhue, a prospective recruit for the Class of 1935's track forces, was in third place at the start of the last lap, battled for the lead against Uniacke of Huntington School for 40 yards, and held a four-yard advantage to the tape...
