...preparing to deal with the affairs of the Kingdom of God, the General Convention, whose deliberations were to last a fortnight, took its time getting down to business. Bishops and their wives dressed up in their considerable best to dine formally at the Netherland Plaza. Members of the General Convention's lower legislative house, clerical and lay deputies, gazed appreciatively at such convention exhibits as the handsome trailer which is host Bishop Hobson's Cathedral (TIME, April 19), the posters and photographs of the zealous, two-year-old Church Society for College Work, the "barracks" of the hardworking...
...casual observer, the Hall of Mirrors in Cincinnati's Hotel Netherland Plaza might have been mistaken for a hat factory last week.

Yet last year California Standard was able to sell only 1,300,000 bbl. of Bahrein oil. In Saudi Arabia and the Netherland Indies the company has other concessions which may develop into rich producers...
...days before last week's performance the prima donna from Jellico, Tenn. kept to her suite in the Hotel Sherry-Netherland, refusing to speak lest she tire her voice. On the stage she exhibited more grace and confidence than she did at her debut in 1928. Otherwise her progress was unnoticeable. Her voice, at best, is naturally ingratiating. But it is still technically insecure, often feeble and rasping when she strives for top notes, empty and meaningless when she tries to sing...
