Catholic papers do not make much money. Each diocese has its local sheet, usually vended near the church on Sunday. Price of the paper (1? to 5?) seldom covers the expenses of the publication. Advertisements are often of the sort not acceptable to the lay press. Manhattan's Catholic News, which bears the recommendation of Cardinal Hayes as "a friendly, newsy paper," carries the advertising of foot masseurs, $2 doctors, "a Gonzaga University Priest Chemist's" preparation for the hair.

...Galahad (Warner). Prizefight pictures, once a staple product of the cinema industry, have been out of fashion since The Prizefighter and the Lady. First of its sort since the resounding failure of that venture in 1933.

William Kidd was a Scotsman born (about 1645), though his parentage is as much in doubt as his early life. A seafaring man of some sort he became, and by the time he was 45 he was well known in the little colony of New York as a competent skipper and a man of substance. Where he learnt his competence and where he got his substance is conjectural: probably the East Indies. As a citizen of Manhattan, Kidd married a twice-widowed lady, built a house on the Hudson and traded in real estate. One of the lots he sold...
