...with the House well under control it passed the original bill in the form the President wanted it. The Senate amended the measure by adding $118,000,000 for veterans' pensions and $215,000,000 for restoring the 15% Federal pay cut (TIME, March 19). If the Senate version became law, it would have nullified more than half the savings which the President made a year ago under the Economy Act. The President let the House know that he would veto the bill if it accepted the Senate amendments. Only a few days earlier the House had defied...
...less elaborations. Typical shot: miniature chorus girl perched on the rim of a screen-high champagne glass. ¶The Show Off (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). George Kelly's biography of a braggart was voted the best play of 1923 by the Pulitzer Prize play jury. In this modernized cinema version it is likely to recapture much of its old popularity. Though Spencer Tracy at times stoops to tricks for audience sympathy which the late Louis John Bartels spurned, most of the fun of the Kelly crucifixion of J.

...well be come the text posterity knows best. So loudly indignant were ruffled British criics, however, that Publishers Harcourt, Brace blew hot & cold about bringing out a U. S. edition.

Even after Schoolteacher Paine's anxious revision of the revision, David Copperfield...

This McDuffie Bill is a revised version of the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Bill rejected by the Philippine Legislature last year, and it grants the Islands an even more complete independence. The changes in the Bill have been favorably commented upon by the President of the Philippine Senate, Manuel Quezon, and other prominent leaders in that legislature, and it is to be expected that the Bill will be immediately granted the required sanction...
...wisdom, his piety, his house, his banquet table, his servants and their apparel, she renounced her skepticism and "there was no more spirit in her." From that lack of spirit, according to Abyssinian legend, sprang the line of Abyssinia's present monarch, crafty brown Haile Selassie. The Arabian version has it that the Queen of Sheba's name was Balkis, that she went to Solomon in fear and trembling. Consensus of scholars is that the capital of Saba (Sheba) was Mareb, about 750 mi. from last week's putative discovery. Once a flourishing and autonomous trade centre...
