...Bible. Vanities, saith the preacher, my Vanity of Vanities is now showing in Boston. Speaking as a man of God, Earl Carroll deplored the rigid censorship of his nigh Eve like girls as they appeared in his musical comedy at the Shubert. He created art unappreciated by the staid Bostonian morality as voiced by City Censor Casey. Besides bare legs Mr. Carroll pleaded for more profanity on the stage of today; he wanted a revival of Flesh and the Devil...
...Bostonians, hundreds of them, heaved sighs of relief last week. The winter's heavy symphonic season was over. "Pop" (popular) concerts had begun and they were concerts faithful to their name once more. For a new conductor was at the helm ? handsome Arthur Fiedler, a native Bostonian, son of a Symphony fiddler, who last year scored a success at the outdoor concerts on the Charles River Basin Esplanade (TIME, July 29).

For he feels that only a wanderer can show a good Bostonian the beauties of the local scene. The Vagabond has no birthplace and no local pride, and so he has been able to show the Woolworth Building to New Yorkers, Independence Hall to Philadelphians, and the Loop to the inhabitants of our Western metropolis. And similarly he will not forget...
Attorney Bushnell's proposal to abolish the Watch and Ward Society, however welcome, is not really startling. Their activities of recent years have made such a suggestion perfectly natural, and the need for such an organization is not particularly evident to the average man, Bostonian or otherwise, who is rather inclined to think that with the aid of proper legislation he can take care of his own morals...
