Notable Foreign Artists Weigh Raid On American Dollars
Irving Terry and Bernhardt are among foreign artists who may raid American dollars next season and fare better than any American players abroad. Newport Rhode Island hosts a grand fete yesterday, self-sufficient without outside aid, while founder Bradley pursues an annual effort to curb mooning on Asbury Park beach. Wealthy Americans allegedly bid for Osborne house where Queen Victoria died, but none offer for the British throne. London creditors of Standard Exploitation plan a money hunt and threaten to lynch managers. Secretary Long orders navy to stop discussing the Schley case, a move seen as prudent.
