...Days a Queen, Non-Stop New York), based on Alfred Ollivant's Bob Son of Battle. As the dour old sheepherder, whose heart is as black as his dog, Black Wull, cinemaudiences may find squat Actor Will Fyffe's burring phrases difficult to understand, his meaning never. Veteran Actor Fyffe's renown as a folksy character is one of the brightest in Britain. His career as an entertainer started in his teens, when in one night he played a gravedigger, the ghost and a strolling player in Hamlet, did a blackface curtain piece and closed the evening...
...worst shape of all, however, was the respectable 54-year-old Catholic Nationalist Echo de Paris. Last week it was finally rescued by and merged into veteran Leon Bailby's struggling Rightist Le Jour. Le Jour, now Le Jour-L'Echo de Paris, lost, however, one of Echo's biggest assets: Anglophile André Géraud, better known as Pertinax, one of the best connected of the many well-connected political writers in France. His political dispatches which sparkle like champagne at a diplomat's table have long appeared in the London Telegraph...
Leader Leuthold noticed that Mrs. Dorothy Clark, one of the party's two women, and Roy Varney, a veteran climber from Oregon City, were lagging, staggering. Varney said he could hardly see.

S. ownership 35 years ago, barely squeezed through its 12th, 13th and 14th editions, was often rescued by the late Julius Rosenwald when he headed Sears, Roebuck. For its 14th edition, it needed $2,500,000 to keep going. This month veteran Editor Franklin Henry Hooper resigns after 40 years with the Britannica, turning over the reins to aggressive Walter Yust, associate editor and ex-newspaperman. Now moving from its Manhattan offices to luxurious new quarters in Chicago's Civic Opera Building, the staff is working on the encyclop...
...loss that did not rankle in the minds of the Council's representatives was that handed them by three feminine debaters at the Catholic college of Misericordia. This debate was presented before an audience packed with attractive Misericordia girls and followed by informal dancing with the opposing team. Veteran debaters rated Misericordia speakers above representatives of Radcliffe, Wellesley, and Vassar in poise, charm, and even debating! Arrangements were concluded on the spot for a return debate at Harvard next Fall...
