Boyd Senter, famous something recording artist, plays soprano sax and clarinet with liberal variation and the tone you seldom hear. The entire program is fond of that hilarious device--the kick in the pants. We counted a round half dozen, taking in the two movies and the stage show, and there were lots of times when we might have missed them...
Vice President Dawes was master of ceremonies. Senate Pages Milburn McCarty Jr. of Eastland, Tex., and John Gordon Logan, carried the two shiny mahogany boxes in which reposed the solemn electoral certificates. Page McCarty is a squint-eyed little boy with a round face, a slight lisp, freckles, a cowlick, and good teeth for apple-biting. He served the Brown Derby during the campaign as personal messenger.

Chicago's police commissioner, William F. Russell, who lately staged a spectacular round-up of the Chicago underworld-and then released his catch-professed great fury.

Anita Page falls from an aquaplane into the plot. This air-photography is good, but Wings was better. The final sequence, in which one pilot dives at another on the field and afterwards rescues him when his plane falls into the Pacific, is about as true to life as a recruiting poster. The sallow aviator is Ramon Novarro...
Enigmatic Morgan. The foremost financier on this round Earth favored the Second Dawes Committee, last week, with an address lasting only a few seconds. At an early session of the Committee, when the other delegates each made succinct 10 minute speeches outlining the policies of their governments, Mr. Morgan rose, indicated his U. S. colleague Mr. Young, and said...
