...SCANDALS?A new note of the bizarre marks George White's latest revue with the New York blue ribbon. He has disregarded the precise symmetry and eyes action which had become axioms of the musical show business. He has thrown an occasional blur of color in the wrong place, in both his scenery and his humor. He has varied his tempo. The effect is slightly erratic?and the public is fighting to see George White's show...
Gene Tunney, former champion of the A. E. F., emerged from the smoke of a battle in Madison Square Garden holding Harry Greb's light-heavyweight championship of the world. But the smoke had hardly cleared when clouds of official disapproval rose to blur the brilliance of his honors.

Second, these windows are not covered by curtains, and the unfortunates who take History 13 and Political Economy 4 are exposed to the glare of a noon-day sun on the back of their heads, till the page before them becomes a blur, and then they either faint, - or stay away. Seriously, this ought to be remedied; the complaint has been made so often before that it should be listened to. Men are constantly in danger of severe headaches if not of actual sunstroke from this cause. The rays of the sun coming...
