...Smart Mr. Gibson made "Nine Points and said he might make more. Smart Signer Grandi made "Seven Points." Like firecrackers on a Chinese New Year's Day good ideas exploded every second, producing the effect of a vast Bedlam of Brilliance among the 2.500 smart people. (Biggest delegation: 100 Japanese...
While the U. S. was approving the Mills advancement as a well-earned promotion for a smart young man. Britain was generally acclaiming the Mellon appointment.

Robinson perform in Little Caesar and Smart Money that he, rather than Alphonse Capone or the late John ("Legs") Diamond, has become the prototype of the U. S. gangster.

Conductor Sergei Koussevitzky and his sedate band lavished almost too much care on the hard, staccato beginnings of the rhapsody, the smart, shifting jazz rhythms which followed. People were enthusiastic about the smooth, melodic middle theme which the Koussevitzky strings played superbly but Bostonians never really accept any new music without consulting one of two critical oracles, aged Philip Hale of the Boston Herald or H.
