...Neither of the other two Hoovers looks like the President (though George Akerson, presidential secretary, is held by many to be almost the "double" of his chief). Yet trickery of some sort might have been suspected one day last week when this amazing episode took place: The President was seen to leave his executive office, clad in his usual sack suit. The Japanese Ambassador, Katsuji Debuchi, was waiting in the Blue Room to present the officers of some visiting Japanese warboats.

...Seen in cold type the plot, besides ending up with a sagging anti-climax, contains such venerable stage devices as the arrival of an unexpected legacy just in time to save the furniture from ravening creditors. But under the capable handling of a cast headed by Janet Beecher it takes on a plausibility and conviction that makes the final impression eminently satisfactory.

...occasionally: for example, a stamp club has wanted an experienced philatelist to speak to a group of young collectors; and a club frequently desires the services of someone who has done a lot of traveling, to tell of his adventures, and the sights he has seen. Sunday School teaching is another occupation that calls for many students, and in this as in the other vocations, there is often pay for experienced or otherwise qualified men. Volunteer work is greatly appreciated in every line, but for practiced men who need the money, compensation is given...
