Sept 3 1930 cite (see col 1):
http://ia902509.us.archive.org/BookReader/BookReaderImages.php?zip=/2/items/variety100-1930-09/variety100-1930-09_jp2.zip&file=variety100-1930-09_jp2/variety100-1930-09_0001.jp2

I am not able to find the Nov 15 1930 cite in the Lantern database (front end search for Variety in Internet Archive), and suspect it may be in error, as the closest-dated issue of Variety it holds is Nov 19, 1930, not Nov 15, 1930.  But possibly Lantern only holds the weekly edition, and Garson's cite is from a Daily edition.

JSB:  Go to the microfilm, and enjoy!  (As I once did before I knew there was a database.)
