Only conspicuous Old Dealer on the scene was John O'Connor, the purged Congressman from New York. Uninvited, he prowled around town looking for infractions of the Hatch Act, growling against the convention's Rooseveltian hoopla. To one reporter he said: "It has been prearranged in Washington by Corcoran, Cohen and Ishansky. . . . Since John L. Lewis is pushed out of the picture as the most powerful man in the country, Ishansky is running the country." Inquiry revealed that by "Ishansky" Mr. O'Connor meant "someone who looks like" Constantine Oumansky, Ambassador to the U. S. from Soviet...

Studio clippers excised a whole scene which she wrote, climaxed by a Maxwell song entitled Whistle a Little. Old Melody, to which two trained dogs did a dance. To augment her picture work, she made a string of lecture dates. Partygiver Maxwell gave no parties in Hollywood for other people (her onetime profession), only...
