City editors of newspapers throughout the land stole into the music departments last week, found an unimportant story, stole it, slapped it into their front pages. It was no new theft. They did the same thing when Marion Talley made her debut two seasons ago at the Metropolitan, and presently the telegrapher's daughter from Kansas City was making hundreds of thousands of dollars. They did it for. Mary Lewis, the runaway girl from Little Rock, Ark., who slipped overnight from the ranks of a Ziegfeld chorus to the bosom of grand opera. They repeated it again last week...
Musically speaking, she had not "done it." To the musically intelligent, it mattered little that 22 years ago Grace Moore was just a little thing in a muslin dress, lisping "Rock of Ages" in a Tennessee Mountain Church. They confined their attentions to the voice which Grace Moore, 27, used to sing Mimi in the special performance of La Boheme which served for her debut. They stamped it as fresh, smooth and appealing, but small, often insecure, often unfaithful to pitch. Her acting, utterly uninspired, was satisfactory by reason of its simplicity...
...name, and that was changed on the eve of the opening. Under the fascinating title of The Nebblepredders it is reasonable to suppose that the incurably curious, a considerable group, would have patronized pasteboard peddlers..

...last the day of women has come in public affairs! No more shall newspaper editors and politicians spend months debating what course a man will follow; the thing to do is ask his wife. For it has just come to light that Mrs. Coolidge, five weeks before the famous "choose" message, embroidered into a White House coverlet the dates 1923-1929 in token of her stay there, thus predicting by her infallible womanly intuition what the mere men of the country did not accept as true for many months after. If only every candidate for office were married, the need...
...with a reservation to the terms of agreement, which would render it worthless from the South and Central American point of view. Both of these misunderstandings have now been laid aside, possibly as unbecoming a conference. Meanwhile, although the conference has not half accomplished its work, there is one thing upon which all the delegates, south and north, Nordic and Latin, are agreed: that the scheduled date of closing, February 20, should be rigidly observed...
