...Robert Lord have thought up for Cagney, even the few which are carefully outlined, can scarcely be considered monuments of ingenuity. The best is his stunt of advertising a vanishing cream, which does not vanish, as a fat remover, on the assumption that purchasers will lose weight trying to rub it in. Unlike Lee Tracy's somewhat similar picture, The Half Naked Truth, Hard to Handle depends less upon journalistic exaggerations about an exciting profession than upon the personality of its principal. Cagney, talking and galloping a little faster than usual, is still wholly successful in the character part...
...concerns (1931 earnings: $19,000,000; assets: $175,000,000).

So the young roam through their pleasures and palaces quite separately from the old, and it is the young who usually usurp the front pages of the society sections. Relegation of the middle-aged, and increased respect for the goings...
...this money is spent on supplies and wages alone. Nearly two thirds of the football expenditure goes as guarantees to the visiting teams. Subtract the guarantees from the original figure, and the more modest total of $113,000 remains as the sum necessary to equip, coach, and rub the squad. Football on Soldiers Field is distinctly a commercial proposition, a fact which may strike home among the many alumni and others who, while supporting the weekly institution, still cry out about high-priced tickets, and over-emphasis...
