...excitement that theatregoers never see on the screen. Producers and exhibitors called in their lawyers, talked of stopping license fees to sound-recording equipment makers until the situation was clarified. Sound technicians wondered if they would have to dust off obsolete recording methods for emergency service. Reason was that bald, long-nosed William Fox, armed with a U. S. Supreme Court patent decision, was out of the well-lined hole into which he was cudgeled four years ago. This half-forgotten ex-newsboy and shoe-polish hawker was bent on raising as much hell as possible in the industry from...
...late great Serge Diaghilev (TIME, March 19). Last week Arnold L. Haskell, Britain's ablest dance critic, who knew both Diaghilev and Madame Nijinsky, recorded his own ballet enthusiasms.* Dancers in Colonel Vassily de Basil's Monte Carlo Ballet Russe know Author Haskell as a bubbling, bald little man who trails them from town to town, settles many a backstage dispute, writes occasional reviews for British papers (New Statesman, New English Weekly, Manchester Guardian) and turns up persistently at rehearsals and performances in an overcoat several inches too long. Author Haskell identifies himself as a life-long balletomaniac...
Before the convention was 24 hours old these three had set the side-room bar of the banner-decked Broadway Auditorium buzzing.

All Herald Tribune editorial men are far more acutely conscious of Mrs. Reid, although they may not see her for a full month, than they are of bald, likable, easy-going Ogden Mills Reid whose office is on their own floor. A contributing factor is that Mrs. Reid is sternly Dry, which most Herald Tribune men, including her husband, are not. Even the rumor that white-crowned Jack Bleeck, who has run the Herald Tribune's next...
...Pope'' of the Roman Catholic Church is that most puissant Cardinal in charge of its vast foreign missions-the prefect of the Congregation for the Propagation of Faith. Present "Red Pope" is Pietro Cardinal Fumasoni-Biondi, bald, round-faced Roman who from 1922 to 1933 was Apostolic Delegate in Washington, D. C. In pious sorrow last week the Cardinal-Prefect reminded the world that today no less than 6,000,000 people still live in slavery. He called Catholic attention to "the importance of the Church anti-slavery program as enunciated by Pope Leo XIII...
