...president has to date been more moderate and more intelligent than Congress in his stand on cancellation and reduction, an has once again demonstrated his reasonableness by his message to Roosevelt. Simultaneously with his invitation there appeared the report of the Sloan Committee, advocating another postponement and a reconsideration of the 1929 funding agreement.

Philharmonic musicians, who gave the statue in Patron Clark's honor, sealed their gift with a stirring performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony...
...sporting events at Manhattan's famed arena (which does not resemble a garden and is about two miles from Madison Square). An exact replica of the Garden marquee was made in Hollywood and reappears constantly. The faces of Jack Johnson, Stanislaus Zbyszko, Tommy Ryan, Billy Papke and Tod Sloan are introduced briefly; they represent the tradition of clean, wholesome sport. The picture was made during the Olympic Games at Los Angeles and it was therefore feasible for Paramount to persuade several real sportswriters to perform in it. Grantland Rice, Westbrook Pegler, Paul Gallico. Damon Runyon. Jack Lait appear momentarily...
