...height of the boom, the U. S. had become a 23,000,000-car nation. During 1930 and 1931, there was a slow falling-off in the number of cars in use. But during these years, while consumption of everything else was falling fast, the evidence of gasoline and tire sales showed that there was almost no decline in the consumption of automobile mileage. Thus there was reason to hope that there was no great surplus of cars on the road. Furthermore, there is a close relation between road-building and car-use; and new roads, bridges, tunnels continued...
Nevertheless in 1932, gasoline and tire sales dropped sharply. Oldest rattletraps were junked-and not replaced. The U. S. now finds that it has dropped precipitously to a 20,000,000-car nation...

...star but must with unparalleled magnanimity, offer him to the audience twice, once as T.K. Blair, the nominee for the presidency of the land, and again as the mountebank who is hired as a double to make up for the lack of sex appeal. The audience won't tire of its favorite and the producers haven't used him over-abundantly. The double exposure escapes the cleverest eye and the exposition of two characters will hold the attention of the most indifferent. And they've put in Jimmy Durante to gush forth exuberantly and to smother his tormenters with aspirates...
