...other scattered Hearstpapers pay their way and appear safe for Hearst for a while: Detroit Times, San Antonio Light, Albany Times-Union, Syracuse Journal (and Sunday American), Boston Record (and Sunday Advertiser), New York Mirror...
...roundabouts it never quite makes up on the swing. The audience got what it came for only when the Three Little Maids from School strutted what they had learned there, when the Mikado (Edward Fraction) bust out into a cakewalk, when the flowers that bloomed in the spring gave way to a jamboree that had nothing to do with the case, but proved mighty, mighty tra-la.

S. radio was under way: cutting the hour-long Ironized Yeast Good Will Hour into half-hour (2,000-foot) recordings for transmission from 46 local stations in the U. S. and Canada...
