...antiSemitism. He twitted the Conservative Party for "following the ideals of Disraeli, an Italian Jew,''- lambasted British Socialists (i. e. Laborites) for their "loyalty to Karl Marx, a German Jew" and polished off the Liberal Party by referring sarcastically to one of its Jewish leaders as "that staunch John Bull, Sir Herbert Samuel!" "Down with Mosley!" cried several hecklers as fresh fights, this time with razors, began. Sir Oswald himself directed part of the cleanup. Then, rushing back to his microphones, he cried...
...staunch Dry who asserts he became tipsy on beer at 14. Dr. Reisner toured Manhattan speakeasies during Prohibition, described his experiences in full to the Press. But no dour cleric is he, for he heartily aims to amuse, soothe and edify his parishioners, especially at Sunday night services.

Other Broadway Temple entertainment includes newsreels, secular singers, bell-ringers, trumpeters and Mr. & Mrs. Vanderbilt Shrump, bird imitators. Before a mirror...

Scrupulous, they paid in full-$148,592. No fools, they paid in silver which cost Finland 36? per ounce on the world market last week but was accepted as worth 50? per ounce by the U. S. Treasury under the Thomas amendment to President Roosevelt's Agricultural Relief Act (TIME, May 22). Great powers which did not pay in full (thus placing themselves...
...done right by our little Nell!" cries Hiram Stanley, the honest farmer. It's true he ain't and it looks bad for Nell. But virtue triumphs, and villainous Richard Murgatroyd, alias Handsome Harry, is foiled in his wicked designs on the farmer's daughter by the staunch courage of noble Jack Dalton, a son of the soil, beneath whose flannel shirt beats an honest heart. The old homestead is saved, the dastardly murderer of Alphonso Pettijohn is handcuffed by detective Hawkshaw in the nick of time, pure Nell and honest Jack clasp each other in a tender embrace...
