...Charter Jubilee Art Show which got under way in Chicago last week was the largest such exhibit ever housed in one room, but everyone agreed that it was the longest. It was held on the second-floor gallery of Chicago's Navy Pier, where that city's proletariat is accustomed to flock on Sundays for recreation. Distance from the gallery's west entrance to the far end is 1,300 ft., and since the paintings hung on both walls a half-mile march was necessary to see them...
...week under Fascist Premier Benito Mussolini. Joseph Stalin has given Soviet toilers a system of Five-Year-Planned vacations and holiday trips. German workers are provided by Adolf Hitler with lavish "Strength Through Joy" cruises on specially constructed Nazi liners built for the exclusive fun of the proletariat.

The Reds scowled, but voted for the financial volte-face of Blum, the Pinks voted for it, and virtually the whole Chamber voted for it by the tremendous majority...
...acanthus-leaf capitals suggesting the First National Bank in an Ohio or Illinois city. There are not many of these new bourgeois buildings yet in Red Moscow, but they bear out in unmistakably bourgeois architecture the fact that J. Stalin & Co.- although favoring the World Revolution of the World Proletariat abroad-are becoming almost Babbitt Bolsheviks at home in the Soviet Union...
