Comrade Vorobiev was furious. "Dunderheads!" he roared, while a ripple of laughter began in his office that was to spread over all Russia, "Fools! The telegram I relayed to your village was an order ending with the usual slogan 'Keep Ready.' I added the serial number, 13,530, signed my name Vorobiev [sparrows...
With his boy's pen Master Bruno dashed off a short story, "The Vessel of the Dead." Hair raising, it resembles (except for lack of sex motive) Il Duce's own lurid serial The Cardinal's Mistress,* penned while he was helping to edit a Socialist sheet...
...Vancouver shortly preceded his death in San Francisco. But Vancouver Kiwanians squirmed with discomfort last week. Other thoughtful citizens deplored. U. S. visitors were in a ferment of indignation. For, despite many a protest, Vancouver's loud evening Sun ("Vancouver's most useful institution") was publishing serially The Strange Death of President Harding by onetime Federal Sleuth Gaston B.

Nothing happened. The Strange Death of President Harding was widely...
...mere mystery-serial was "The Trial of Vivienne Ware." The trial itself was enacted for six consecutive nights in National Broadcasting Co.'s studio WJZ over the New Amsterdam Theatre at Times Square.

Evart's Saturday Evening Post serial, Spanish Acres, it is in effect a long argument as to whether some sheep owned by a U. S. boy are to be grazed on land owned by a gullible Spanish rancher. Richard Arlen is the hero, Rosita Moreno is the rancher's daughter. One element of comic relief is the occasional intrusion of a young boy and girl who have the fearful coyness inevitable in camera-trained children...
