Toward noon he put on formal attire. drove to the White House, was greeted briefly by President Hoover, on whose right he sat during the East Room ceremonies. After the luncheon he returned to the Willard...
Pleasure Crazed (Fox). This finely made but curiously colorless picture is an example of the talkie producers' fumbling to find a middle ground between stage and cinema. It attempts no broad effects, no cardinal emotions. Its plot, involving a novelist whose wife is unfaithful to him and who finds solace in the love of a girl who has been planted in his house by a gang of crooks, is as complicated as it sounds, yet never quite silly and never vulgar.

The New York "Giants" are third but here again the common ailment of poor pitching has been a grave handicap. Pitcher Grimes, whose fine work has held up the Pittsburgh Club, last week had his thumb dislocated by a fast liner. If he is long on the bench, the Chicago Club should be the next champion. Outstanding Chicagoans are Infielder Rogers Hornsby and Outfielders Hack Wilson (who recently got into a fist fight...
