Beyond this tantalizing obscurity, acting and production are complete and harmonious. Mr. Bennett is sincere, thoughtful, and full of delightful whimsy. It is unfortunate that an extravagant press-agent should herald him on the program as "America's most distinguished actor", though he does his best to earn the title, and his charming curtain-speech won him many Boston hearts.

In this zone there are 36,000 miles of heavy traction railroads, 96,000 industrial plants and 550 central electrical stations producing power. Electricity is the greatest agent of power in the world today, the father of all accomplishments, moral, intellectual, and physical. It is only by harnessing this power into one central organization that we can hope to attain the efficiency needed to meet the engineering problems of America's future...
