A survey of actors and entertainers shows many performers use stage names like Maud Adams Jed Harris Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford while others like John Galen and Tallulah Bankhead discuss media shifts. The piece notes industry trends and personal fortunes with brief anecdotes and names.
Arthur Baer recounts a fanciful panorama of Wotta Mann and Upside Downey with boxing lore, spectacle, and satire. The piece blends boxing myth, odd anecdotes, and public notices as it mockingly chronicles a mythical matchup and the era’s sensationalism.
A humorous exchange centers on Sylvester confronting a narrator about a factory setting. The pair discuss efficiency, the assistant auditor, and a misread bookkeeping scheme, ending with Sylvester blaming a lack of “co operative gregariousness” as the issue while recalling past office pranks and a stocky chorus of characters.
A collage of short humorous snippets from various prints. Quips about drivers, politicians, hotel guests, and a dog in a suburban daybook style. The fragments show playful misinterpretations and wry social foibles across multiple unnamed sources.
The dialogue tracks domestic squabbles and schemes as Sylvester, Scroggins, and a butler clash over work, police roles, and a looming barge dispute. A mix of fussy humor and interwoven family satire travels from a heated room to hints of Peru and Syracuse as the tale hints at broader mischief.
A rambling column surveys the stock market’s waning confidence, then shifts to international affairs. It discusses Jack Garner’s East Coast trip, Canada’s Ottawa Congress, Ireland and England’s oath issues, South Africa’s winners, and Hitler, Hindenburg, and Lord Cecil on disarmament. The piece ends with reflections on future elections and public mood.
