...stupendous buying power of the East. How do this? Sir Hugo admitted that he could think of nothing better than the William Jennings Bryan plan of linking silver legally to gold at some fixed ratio.* Careful not to make himself too explicit, tobacco's Sir Hugo generalized: "The shade of Bryan hovers over the world situation now. May it guide us." On the same platform sat Mr. C.H. Minor, representing International General Electric. "Bryan was right!" cried he. "Bryan was merely ahead of his time." Other Britons taking these cues, there was soon in full swing last week what...
Leon Janney is a little too pretty and a shade too self-conscious for Penrod but his laugh, so incongruous with his speech that it sounds like a ventriloquist's giggle, is the most infectious sound in the picture. Sam (Junior Coghlan) has a flat Irish face, eyes that narrow pleasantly in anger; the short right with which he starts his fight with Penrod is better timed than Carnera's (see p. 22). Good shots: nice little Georgie Bassett doing a minuet at the birthday party while Penrod and Sam are fighting upstairs; the In-or-In Club...
Rivalry between the two South American teams entered in this year's Open Polo Championship was a shade more than friendly.

Theorists wondered whether Vines would, like Doeg, slump after becoming champion; or whether, which seemed a shade more likely, he would improve enough to dominate U. S. tennis like Tilden, McLoughlin, Larned, Wrenn, and Richard D. Sears...
Once he took his troubles to an old witch woman. She gave him good advice: "You got to weary yo' life along, 'cause dat's de way hit turns out. You work and yo' back gits tired; you lay round hyar in de sun and shade and yo' soul gits twice as weary. Take a job er work, and you wear cawns in yo' hands. Th'ow yo' shoes under some woman's bed, and cawns come on yo' weary soul. Quit yo' work, and you gits...
