...Vancouver shortly preceded his death in San Francisco. But Vancouver Kiwanians squirmed with discomfort last week. Other thoughtful citizens deplored. U. S. visitors were in a ferment of indignation. For, despite many a protest, Vancouver's loud evening Sun ("Vancouver's most useful institution") was publishing serially The Strange Death of President Harding by onetime Federal Sleuth Gaston B. Means (TIME, March 31). The U. S. Consul General was besieged with outraged demands for formal action. One Californian wired to Senator Hiram Johnson urging "proper protest against . . . insult." Nothing happened. The Strange Death of President Harding was widely...
...mere mystery-serial was "The Trial of Vivienne Ware." The trial itself was enacted for six consecutive nights in National Broadcasting Co.'s studio WJZ over the New Amsterdam Theatre at Times Square. It was reported in shrieking detail in the American each morning. Typical of Hearst smartness and enterprise was the casting of characters for the trial. Presiding judge was no obscure radio performer, but U. S. Senator Robert Ferdinand Wagner, good friend of Publisher Hearst and a onetime supreme court justice in New York State. Prosecutor was Ferdinand Pecora, onetime chief assistant district attorney in Manhattan...
...Santa Fe Trail (Paramount). This is another western, beautifully photographed, nicely acted, but static and thoroughly dull as entertainment. Taken from Hal G.

One element of comic relief is the occasional intrusion of a young boy and girl who have the fearful coyness inevitable in camera-trained children...

A library with a stock room for 80,000 volumes, a map room, chart room, instrument room, and provisions for the study of radio communication and serial photography are to be provided...
...which, while eminently respectable, had become in recent years a burden. It was after the death in 1881 of Editor Josiah Gilbert Holland (cofounder with Roswell Smith) that Century reached the zenith of its editorial command. Then, under Editor Richard Watson Gilder, it scored its journalistic triumph with the serial life of Lincoln, by Nicolay & Hay, and a Civil War battle series written by the most important participants. Circulation reached its peak of 150,000 in 1906. Followed a gentle but inexorable decline which not even energetic Editor Glenn Frank (now president of University of Wisconsin) could completely check...
