Alded and abetted by Ethel Merman, whose singing is almost as bad as Cantor's, the beauteous Sally Eilers, and stooge Parkyakarkus, Eddie's latest certainly affords your ticket's worth of amusement. The utter impossibility of the last fifteen minutes of trick photography does not detract from its being darn funny and surprisingly breath-taking...
Before and after her luncheon at the White House, the Cosmetics Queen visited U. S. cosmetics factories with a view to buying some $100,000 worth of factory equipment. The traveling belts on which the jars of powder and perfume rode from worker to worker, floor to floor, particularly fascinated her.

Since 1917, the Fromms have sold $16,500,000 worth of pelts, with 1935 sales of $819,000, about 10% of the U. S. silver fox total. Fromm foxes mate in February, the titters appearing in 51 days. Biggest expense item, $300,000 a year, is fox food, mostly horse meat, oatmeal, eggs, fruits, vegetables, all served in sterilized bowls. Biggest risk is high fox mortality...
