...Louise, 18, is not unknown or unbeloved in Leyden. Her great ancestor, William of Orange, founded the University, 352 years ago. Her mother was created an honorary doctor of laws at Leyden (TIME, March 23, 1925). But next September all that is to be officially forgotten. By order of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, her only daughter, Crown Princess Juliana Louise Emma Marie Wilhelmina, 18, will be known at Leyden simply as "Mejuffrouw Van Buren." Netherlands recalled that among the minor titles of their queen is "Countess Van Buren...
...Ethel Waters. Her 70-odd inches are topped by a small closely cropped head. She uses a typical husky, soft voice to unusual advantage, employs mannerisms frankly and disarmingly Negroid, understands the art of "living" her songs, so that they take on dramatic quality. In Harlem, she is queen. In Manhattan she stopped the show. The other feature is the chorus of many-tinted Negro girls, most of them well-made, whose hips keep up with vagarious jazz rhythms by going three ways at once. Rang Tang unfortunately starts off with a plot about two dusky Harlemites...
...horse, Tony, do their stuff once again, this time for the reluctant heart of a circus queen. Amongst other adventures possible in the woolly West, they break jail, lasso the girl off the back of a runaway elephant, write "I love you" into a wooden fence with bullets.

Mary Louise ("Texas") Guinan, queen-mother of the night clubs, shunted her honkytonk furies into the Shubert Theatre to dispense the usual small attentions with large-scale intimacy. She makes her entrance riding down the aisle on a white Arabian horse. Her locally famed "girlies" rush out among the audience, pelting them with cotton balls. Miss Guinan herself is in the aisles as often as on the stage, shaking hands, bantering wisecracks, kissing bald pates that clearly answer for her rouged caresses. While she is changing costumes, vaudevillians take the stage-Jans & Whalen of the Keith circuit...
Born luckily to place and power, Premier Jon Bratiano has held and builded upon both. He and his brother Vintila, and brother-in-law Prince Babu Stirbey (intimate of Queen Marie) control the State. They dominate Rumanian banking, oil, manufactures. Their large estates are worked by peasants in a manner all but feudal. Because they have used their power to systematically exploit Rumania, a tide of public indignation periodically rises, and before it M. Bratiano resigns the Premiership, announces that he has "retired," and proceeds to lie in wait...
