...Jolly John's party has the city in its bag but only a slim margin of control on the Board of Aldermen, whose president, Harrie Satchells, is after the mayoralty. The campaign is a humdinger, nip & tuck all the way. When Satchells at one meeting produces an inflated rubber cartoon of Holtsapple and lets the air out as he asks it embarrassing questions, he is one up. Jolly John (aping Big Bill Thompson's famed performances with jackasses et al.) evens things up by leading out a pig, addressing it as Harrie. By an ingenious scheme for keeping...
...makes his actions wholly enjoyable. King Kong, "conceived" by Merian Coldwell Cooper, was not made entirely by enlarging miniatures. Kong is actually 50 ft. tall, 36 ft. around the chest. His face is 6½ ft. wide with 10-in. teeth and ears 1 ft. long. He has a rubber nose, glass eyes as big as tennis balls. His furry outside is made of 30 bearskins. During his tantrums, there were six men in his interior running his 85 motors. Naturally no such monster would be limber enough to wrestle with a tyrannosaurus. Most of Kong's fights were...
...Radio Corp., which, despite its spectacular opportunities, has never paid a common dividend in its history, showed a $1,334,000 loss against a $769,000 profit the year before. Borden Co. (milk) reported a profit of $7,524,000 against $16,088,000 in 1931. U. S. Rubber reduced its $13,074,000 deficit of 1931 to $10,358,000. Low metal prices caused the Guggenheims' American Smelting & Refining to show a loss of $4,506,000 against a 1931 profit...
...Noyes and Parker. A quick pass to Saltonstall on his left and a relay to Baldwin speeding down the left lane relieved the situation so quickly that Baldwin's shot took Snyder, in the Blue net, by surprise. On a hard shot from deep left wing Baldwin planked the rubber into the far corner of the net for the first tally at 57 seconds. The period ended without further score, with the Crimson taking no chances of losing its scanty lead...
...both outfits opened up wide their offenses, sending five men down the ice in an attempt to clinch the affair. Harvard got the jump when Baldwin shot from his left wing, after the Crimson had kept the puck in Yale territory for a few minutes. Snyder saved, but the rubber bounded back to the waiting Saltonstall, who had nothing in the way of a score. The time was 2.15. Yale's endeavors to pull the game out of the fire were useless, and the laurels went to Harvard...
