Night wanderers and lavender boys haunt New York streets
New York City life is sketched through nocturnal figures who vanish at dawn. The piece notes a mix of ex-prisoners, the aloof and elderly women dubbed futs, and theater folk nicknamed lavender boys. It recalls Osgood Perkins, a Harvard-educated actor who refused to be typed and raised stage standards.

Will Rogers Mourned As New York Grieves
The city reels after the tragic death of Will Rogers, halting business, theaters empties, and a grand banquet draws only 300 as Ogden Mills and other cultural figures are lauded for public service. The piece notes the shock across New York and reflects on public figures and media circles in the 1937 context. Will Rogers is described as a vital, beloved public figure whose loss leaves a void.
