...leaders of the Bowery in its glamorous era. Naturally it was necessary to show what happened to a girl from Albany in the wicked city. Fay Wray is the charming victim, and although she is in constant company with Steve and Chuck, she retains her simple, sweet, and virtuous habits to the very end.

This year Moscow Province and the Tartar Republic are the only parts of the Soviet Union to fulfill 100% the grain shipping quotas set by the Soviet State. Last week virtuous Moscovites and Tartars were rewarded by Dictator Josef Stalin. He decreed as a signal boon that all collective and even individual peasant farms in Moscow Province and the Tartar Republic are authorized to sell any surplus grain which they may have left for what it will bring...
