...queer gathering has assembled to bid for the U. S. rights to a contraption called the radioscope, invented by a palsied Chinese. From time to time the inventor gives demonstrations of his machine: they show such radio folk as Rudy Vallée, Stoop-nagle & Budd, a wretched urchin called Baby Rose Marie performing their specialties. Miss Joyce is on hand looking, naturally, for a millionaire. A young employe of American Electric Co. (Stuart Erwin) is accused of having measles, causes the International House to be placed in quarantine. He finally manages to buy the rights to the radioscope, escape...

The Greentree Stables, owned by Mrs. Payne Whitney, bought Jockey Coucci's contract from the Coburn Brothers (John and George), onetime racehorse owning partners of Jack Dempsey. His record with 835 mounts this year has been 161 winners, 143 seconds. He has won only twelve important stakes this season, to Mills's 18, but Coucci's twelve were worth...
