...McCay stood in front of the screen and gave a sort of lecture, "Gertie" would bow and act as if she were responding to Mr. Mc-Cay's instructions...
...past few months, Justice Van Devanter has been vacationing, subject to call-under the terms of the retirement act-by Chief Justice Hughes for emergency duty. Last week it was announced that by mutual agreement he would return to sit during the January term on the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Eileen Crowe is superb for the role of "Juno" Boyle, who receives her divinely regal name for the internal reason that everything in her life happened in June, but for dramatic reasons less fortuitous. F. J. McCormick has created his part of "Joxer" Daly, the fawning hanger-on and salve to the Captain's petty pride...
