Cornell looks for her own iron man, Bob Linders, to upset Calvin. Linders took first in both dash and 300 last year, and this year he adds the relay to his list of performances. Should the two men split enough points, the meet will have to be decided on the mile...
...wrong. For producer and author The Green Pastures proved not only an artistic but a financial Heaven on earth. Marc Connelly had put a little bit of everything dramatically good into his white man's idea of a black man's idea of the Bible stories. Audiences split their sides laughing at the play's account of Genesis, in which "de Lawd," wanting to provide "firmament" for the custard at a celestial fish fry, makes too much, has to create the Earth as a place to "dreen it off." Spectators were thrilled at the Battle of Jericho...
...interested to profit from PWA contracts. It was a shrewd move, for Mr. Ickes and Mr. Farley have clashed on many points; Mr. Ickes' investigators have been tireless in investigating PWA bids.

When he has a split-second to spare Merrill Moore writes a sonnet. He dictates them to his wife, composes them in shorthand between cases at the hospital. improvises them while motoring home. Anything may serve to set him going from the sight of breakfast eggs to the news of the death of the New York World. Typical is his sonnet to the Prince of Wales: My admiration for the Prince of Wales Is far-flung as a fleet of royal sails. Poor fellow, duties he must do as prince, Endless, fatiguing, and yet never wince! ... As deep as cotton...
