Louder, Please. So well has Playwright Norman Krasna, onetime office boy for the defunct New York Sunday World, observed the greased-lightning satires of Ring Lardner, George S. Kaufman and Charles MacArthur that none of these practitioners should be ashamed to set their names to Louder, Please. It is a good imitation of the sort of thing that blasted audiences out of their seats several seasons back when Lee Tracy, he of the sunken cheeks, long legs and yellow hair, was romping through Broadway and The Front Page. Happily the services of Actor Tracy have been secured for Louder, Please...
...across the face, then smashes his own hand against the side of his cell. Even this mistreatment does not discourage little Cooper. Presently he is back, muttering, "Aw gee!" with sniveling, or sometimes gay, affection. Finally there arrives Beery's comeback as a fighter. He shuffles into the ring in a torn bathrobe, defeats what is supposed to be a first-class boxer in a struggle which will seem a little absurd to anyone who has ever seen a prizefight.

Every year the horse show differs in some respects from preceding shows. Last week the promenade, where spectators might walk around the outside of the judging ring, had been restored. Restored also was Hunt Night, when spectators wore pink or green coats to watch the judging of hunter classes. There were 30 fewer classes than last year, but most of the best U.

Young horses, such as Mountain Pippin...
...hoofs in a gait which is higher, slower and shorter in stride than that of a standard bred horse. She has four white stockings, a white star on her forehead and a white snip on her nose. Her black tail is cropped; on her black mane, in the show ring, are knots of red wool to accent the curve of her neck. In her stall she shows traces of the nervousness which is noticeable in all progeny of her mother. She regards all small objects as likely to be edible and wears a wire muzzle to prevent her chewing...
Slowly recovering from pernicious anemia Ring W. Lardner was removed from hospital to home. In the course of a press interview, said he: "The prince of all bad writers is Dreiser. He takes a big subject, but so far as handling it and writing it-why, one of my children could do better." Author Lardner has four children, all boys. Last summer the youngest, David Ellis Lardner, 10, was "humorous editor" of High Tide, juvenile newspaper of East Hampton, L. I. Richard Lardner Tobin, nephew, is managing editor of the Daily at the University of Michigan (TIME...
