Evelyn Prentice (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). In Manhattan the characters in this picture read Mr. Hearst's American, lunch at the Waldorf-Astoria, take tea at the Plaza, go to Barney's to get drunk. Pullmans carry them to Boston where they stop at the Copley Plaza.

...avalanche against Shanghai she whelped a towering hero, General Tsai Ting-kai of the deathless 19th Route Army (TIME, Feb. 22, 1932). Last week on the Olympic he steamed into Manhattan and Chinatown went wild. Rich merchants had hired a suite for their hero at the tall-towered Waldorf-Astoria. They sent three planes with Chinese pilots roaring down the bay to dip and zoom in welcome. As the Olympic drew in, 4,000 jubilant celestials jammed the pier and Chinese drivers of a motorcade of 200 cars pushed down the buttons of their horns, kept them down...
