...would pass for a palatial home to a Columbia Burlesque audience. It is complete with funny German butler who makes faces behind his employers' backs. His employers are also burlesque characters, a circumstance which may confuse spectators until they remember the amusing cartoons with which the late Ralph Barton illustrated the Loos book. Evidently the actors of The Social Register took a good look at these illustrations while deciding how to interpret their parts. It is scarcely necessary to record that the chorus girl eventually gets her man in spite of his family...

Y. The President called the Red Cross ''a monument to individual and local initiative." The Governor said: "We understand today that disaster and catastrophe are not limited to suffering caused by fire and flood. If the teachings of Clara Barton were right, these same teachings must apply to the distress and suffering stalking in our midst today...

Instead of photographs of the publisher clad only in an abdominal supporter to illustrate his lectures on "physcultopathy" there are chastely presented "personal messages," no more offensive to the eye than a Bruce Barton editorial.
