...Hamilton, Bermuda, a pair of smiling pictures of the Duke & Duchess, tacked up by a newspaper counter clerk, Miss Evelyn Stovell, and captioned "They're Happy Now,'' so enraged the Rt. Rev. Arthur Heber Browne, 73, Anglican Bishop of Bermuda, that he tore them down, stalked out.

...made the pathetic butt of a Socialist's humor. That socialist, played by Denis O'Dea, is reduced to pillaging and playing cards, nervously squatting on the floor of an attic, because he will not participate in a futile rebellion. Mareen Delany and May Craig are splendid as a pair of garrulous, short-tempered kind-hearted fishwives, the latter singing "Rule Brittania" throughout the uprising. All these people and several others comprise an intensely interesting gallery of figures, but the play suffers, and compares unfavorably with "June and the Paycock," through having no character of great tragic proportions...

And besides this, they have taken Miss MacDonald away from Mr. Eddy and, instead, have given him Eleanor Powell, who shows a complete inability to add anything.

...deal with SEC whereby he saved himself and certain good friends from prosecution for manipulating Checker Cab. 1935 E. F. Hutton & Co. partners played no part in the Checker Cab trading. Simultaneously, however, Gerald Loeb and Gordon Crary did considerable trading of Auburn for clients. According to SEC, the pair, through Floor Trader H. Terry Morrison, effected enough artful Auburn deals to raise the price from $38 on Dec. 24, to $54.25 on March 5, 1936. SEC claims that this was done by such oldtime pool methods as buying heavily at the close, issuing extravagant statements, using discretionary accounts...
