...Motors, Inc. was formed. Heading it was an archpromoter of the New Era, Arch M. Andrews. It was the year that Promoter Andrews, one day in Chicago, announced to friends that he was 50 years old and 50 times a millionaire. Hard indeed would it be to trace the course of either Promoter Andrews or his fortune during those 50 years but Andrews acquaintances readily believe his story that he made his first money doing a song & dance number with his brother in the back rooms of Chicago saloons. He still is a lively ban joist, but plays...

Despite a 30-m.p.h. wind, despite her own admitted fright and premonition of failure, she took off last week from Havana to return across the Gulf. She never reached Miami. Planes and boats combed the Gulf, found no trace.

Her curiously combined resemblances to Greta Garbo and the late Jeanne Eagels do not lessen the impact of her own personality. Gary Cooper's expert underacting as the hero and Adolphe Menjou...
When a book of gossipy memoirs entitled The Story of San Michele was launched in the U. S. (May, 1929) by Publisher Dutton, the little imported edition (364 copies) slid simply down the ways, struggled unostentatiously against the flood, then sank apparently without a trace. But ten months later it emerged again as a bestseller, led all non-fiction books for eleven months.* So famed grew The Story of San Michele and its author, Dr. Axel Munthe, that shrewd Publisher Dutton wanted to launch another Munthe book. Not having a new one handy he raised from the bottom, where...
