When the sun had set that afternoon, the Dodgers were one up on the Reds. Luke Hamlin had pitched a two-hit shutout, had chalked up a 2-to-0 victory. But Brooklyn's cheers were all for swart, swaggering, 28-year-old Joe Medwick, who, in his debut with the Dodgers, had driven in one of their two runs...
Last week Manhattan audiences heard something which might have been Aztec music. As a side show of the exhibit of Mexican art at the Museum of Modern Art (see p. 57), a program of Mexican music was worked out by Mexico's swart, amiable, unruly-locked Composer-Conductor Carlos Chavez. A collection of ancient instruments in the Mexican National Museum, and such tomes of conquistador times as the Codex Florentinus (a compilation of Indian folklore, with many a crude illustration-see cut), were all the proof Composer Chavez could give that his fanciful reconstruction called Xochi-pili-Macuilxochitl after...
...while, in the shadows at the back of the hall, sat a swart, beady-eyed Indian Sikh who neither laughed at Sir Michael's jests nor applauded his jibes.

("Ned") McIntosh of the New York Herald Tribune, thought they had found the dark horse of the Republican Convention in short, swart Joseph William Martin Jr., able minority leader of the House of Representatives.

Hagerty & McIntosh reported that Republican leaders from all over the country were much impressed...

There, in an old Biograph studio, Micheaux Picture Corp. has got around to producing the latest of some 40 Negro pictures it has made in 20 years. They are scripted, directed, edited and peddled by thickset, mild-mannered, chocolate-colored Producer Oscar Micheaux. Micheaux pictures take an average ten days to shoot, cost from $10,000 to $20,000. Casts are always allstar. "If I made one person the star," says foxy Producer Micheaux, "there would be no holding that...
