Anyone who pays 25? to see the plot of Arsene Lupin, derived from the play by Maurice Le Blanc and Francis de Croisset, or to hear the dialog written for it by Bayard Veiller and Lenore Coffee, would have a right to feel disappointed, if not duped. But no one should make such a mistake. The pleasure of seeing this Arsene Lupin consists entirely in seeing both Barrymore brothers at the same time. Theatre-goers enjoyed this privilege in 1919, when both were cabined in the narrow dungeons of The Jest, but they are not likely to enjoy it again...

He appealed for the preservation of "the beauty, tranquillity and safety of Princeton, the most beautiful...
...masterpiece in his half year is a mystery. This is the manner in which "Faust" is studied: One member of the class reads a dozen lines in German (three-fourths of the time this is poorly done); then the instructor reads a translation of the lines either from Bayard Taylor or Anne Swannick!
