Thence he visited the White House, a hostel for bums in Settle Street. Everywhere his cheery, infectious smile brought a roar of welcome from those many voices named collectively "The voice...
...have wondered for a long time what was wrong with the Gov'ment. Woodrow's set smile made me very nervous. Cool Cal's expression of smelling Limberger cheese has worried me to the point of despair, but this picture of Brother Wayne Bidwell Wheeler [Attorney for the Anti-Saloon League-TIME, Jan. 10] has caused me to wish that I could consult an honest and fairly reliable Bootlegger. . . .

As for the cast, Patti Harrold, dainty and unstudied, makes a charming heroine; Robert Armstrong, obviously out of place in musical comedy, a not-so-good hero. George Meeker, Edward Allen, and Frank Beaston, as Tom, Dick, and Harry, furnish the bulk of the humor, which depends more on their own antics than the rather weak book. Mr. Beaston especially stands...
