Peggy was soon making $700 a week, had her own maid and car. Socialite Sonny Whitney. Poloist Tommy Hitchcock, were her good friends (she says). In Chicago Stanley Joyce came into her life. Her marriage with Joyce taught her the last refinements of her peculiar talent: how to spend money. Perhaps that is why, in all her subsequent vicissitudes, she has gratefully kept his name. One week in Manhattan she spent nearly a million dollars. Just shopping. He bought her a house in Coral Gables, Miami, and the neighbors complained of the stink from her monkey house. Said Peggy...
...smash hit, Broadway's ingenuous habitues always assume that his next play will be just as great a success. Recapture got them all excited because its author is Preston Sturges, whose Strictly Dishonorable (TIME, Sept. 30) is still a smash hit. In Strictly Dishonorable Playwright Sturges exhibits a talent for writing risque themes and a romanticism as all-pervading as that of Grimm and Hans Andersen. But he is not yet a playwright of stature. He can crack a smart joke, can treat sex with refinement; can also devise such ill-assembled, trivial drama as Recapture, which deals with...

It would seem that amid such an amount of talent and knowledge as we have here, there must be some one who could discover that form, even, if necessary or desirable, resurrect those "prayers" with which it was begun. Though, under existing circumstances, that cheerful custom of the "beever" is no longer possible, the seating of the members...
Only two sweepswingers from last year's first shell, Captain L.W. Dickey '30, and M.M. Johnson '31, will report today to the joint tutelage of Associate Coaches H.H. Haines and C.J. Whiteside, but there will be considerable talent on hand from last spring's Freshman eight, which was barely nosed out in June by the Yale cubs after they had led to within a few hundred feet of the finish line. There is also a wealth of material from last year's Jayvee boat, all the members of which, from stem to stern, are in College and eligible. This crew...
