...Marshal of France," designated himself as Chief of State, 57-year-old Pierre Laval as his successor. In his new twelve-man Cabinet, key posts went to the men who had surrounded him since France sued for peace: Ministry of Defense to General Maxime Weygand, Ministry of Interior to Neo-Socialist Adrien Marquet, Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Businessman Paul Baudouin...
...Twentieth Century Fox staged a special snap preview of "Johnny Apollo" some seven weeks ago in Ossining, New York. They picked Ossining because the hero, to say nothing of most of the semi-minor characters, resides during the last forty-five minutes of the movie in a certain notorious neo-Gothic villa of that town.

Oil drops may dribble into the lungs, cause a kind of pneumonia, especially in young children. "Unquestionably effective" are benzedrine inhalers if used "cautiously and strictly according to directions...
...live in Paris, permanently, and in swift succession followed the "Harlequin," "Rose" and "Negro" periods. By 1908 he was pioneering in cubism, with a side foray into pasted paper compositions. Picasso's seven years' designing for the Russian Ballet, beginning in 1917, led him into a neo-classical realism, culminating in the sculptural Three Graces (see cut) of 1924. Year later his classicism came to a violent end with his painting, The Three Dancers (see cut), which left not one line of The Three Graces on another.
