...votes. Since then he has been visiting other district leaders, forming alliances. So far, Tammany has always come back after a municipal purging. Ahearn's youth and vitality may be sorely needed for the comeback. Kiss. Straw votes gathered by the Literary Digest, Daily News, Brooklyn Eagle and RKO theatres indicated last fortnight that LaGuardia was leading O'Brien by a wide margin. When McKee entered the race, the nucleus of his support was Democratic votes taken back from LaGuardia, plus defections from Tammany. Last week there were signs that he would get a lot of Republican votes...
...Vickers (RKO-Radio). Sinclair Lewis' story of a woman social worker is satisfactory material for the cinema. As adapted by Jane Murfin it briefly shows Ann Yickers (Irene Dunne) at the start of her career, coolly fencing off the admiration of a clownish confrère and a suave young barrister (Conrad Nagel). It deals more comprehensively with her wartime love affair with Captain Resnick (Bruce Cabot). After these preliminary romances and Ann's brief, unhappy experience as a prison-executive, the picture launches enthusiastically into the matter of her liaison with Judge Barney Dolphin (Walter Huston...

As this picture opens Bruce Foster (Richard Dix) is a sports reporter who, instead of covering the second Dempsey-Tunney fight, as he has been assigned to do, is blowing a toy pipe in a speakeasy. Discharged for incompetence, he gets drunk again the next night with better results. An advertising...
...ready to start her next picture (Queen Christina). Also signed up for one prizefight picture was Heavyweight Challenger Max Baer. Still addicted to all-star casts, MGM was ready to release Dinner at Eight which contains almost every performer on the lot except John Barrymore's macaw. RKO promised Sinclair Lewis' Ann Viewers. It would also tackle Of Human Bondage, Somerset Maugham's long-neglected but deeply moving story of a cripple. Fox announced it had bought the rights to Music in the Air, planned a series of shorts made from old nickelodeon cinemas. Paramount ballyhooed...
