Late one afternoon last week Franklin Roosevelt drove out to Washington's Naval Hospital to see his oldest political adviser, Louis McHenry Howe, abed for a year with heart and lung trouble. The President visited his No. 1 secretary because Louis Howe is the foremost member of the Cuff-Links Gang. This organization is composed of friends who helped Franklin Roosevelt run for Vice President in 1920 and to whom he gave sets of cuff links in remembrance of that unfortunate political campaign. Of late years the Cuff-Links Gang has been getting together with the President to help...
...balls in Washington, to which 18,000 $2.50 tickets were sold entitling the bearers to visit balls at all or any of six hotels, to travel from ball to ball by free bus. Among the travelers were Guy Lombardo & orchestra, Cinemactress Ginger Rogers (who, though no member of the Cuff-Links Gang, dropped in at the White House) and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Roosevelt. Accompanied by a troupe of handmaidens including Nancy Cook, Marion Dickerman, Malvina Thompson Scheider and Marguerite ("Missy'') Le Hand, and wearing a necklace of tiger's claws, the President's wife went successively...
...head. The first Presidential birthday ball (1934) netted $1,015,000. The second (1935) netted $1,071,000. The third last week was expected to net anywhere up to $1,500,000. In fine fettle therefore was the President when he broke off his party with the Cuff-Links Gang, went to his microphone and thanked his 5,000,000 birthday guests, promising them that 70% of their contributions would be spent combatting infantile paralysis in their own communities, 30% sent to Warm Springs Foundation for its national program...
...Stockholm fastidious King Gustaf V, who hates and fears the Bolsheviks across the Baltic, could rejoice at all sorts of prosperous indexes as he snapped on his sapphire cuff links, his dainty wrist watch and his gold snake bracelet. Stockholm editors now speak of Depression as something definitely passed. Registered unemployment is down from the peak of 187,000 at this time last year to 53,000. Taking 100 as the measure of Swedish production in 1929, it is up from 79 during 1932 to 101 today. Typical of pleasant surprises, to which Swedes are now growing accustomed...
...Louis Kid (Warner) shows James Cagney receiving a cuff on the jaw from his leading lady instead of giving her one. Because he was tired of punching with his fists in pictures. Cagney suggested a variation to Director Ray Enright. In The St. Louis Kid he wears bandages on his hands, butts his way through brawls with his head. In other respects, the picture is standard Cagney entertainment, a rapid, realistic fantasy about a truck-driver who wants a quiet weekend in the country. Best shot: Cagney being welcomed into a village jail by a warden who loves company...
