...brothers were estranged, cinema-wise, over Slavery. Last week, 87 years having passed, they were reunited. In Washington, D. C., on the same platform, stood President Mattison Boyd Jones of the Northern Baptist Convention and President William Joseph McGlothlin of the Southern Baptist Convention.

King Fuad of Egypt was painted from the side, against a tan background which suggested deserts...

Cox, had collected small sums for his tram's food and gasoline. Accompanied by his mother, Father Cox stepped out on the portico of his church, consulted his lieutenants. Two were priests like himself, another a lawyer. Waiting to join him en route was prizefighting, pants-pressing Mayor Edward McCloskey of Johnstown (1889 flood town).
