...Senate is used to the silver situation, not to say bored by it. Yet last week a Senatorial Lone Ranger once more took the trail of the wild-riding, hell-for-leather Silver Bloc, grimly determined to stop the Treasury raids. Ordinarily, big, easygoing Senator John Gillis Townsend of Delaware is no Lone Ranger. Gregarious John Townsend, whose head looks like a snowball bush in full bloom, is solidly Republican, completely acceptable to Delaware's Du Pont dynasty.

Last week Dictator Mussolini began warming up again the stale Rome-Berlin Axis...
...east. Glamor-the old and the new -is represented to perfection in Nita Naldi and Cobina Wright, Jr. Nita is dark and over-weight. Junior is blonde and slim. He stature is picturesque. She deserves to have a play built completely around her--a play which would just stop in the middle and give the audience a chance to look and wonder...
