...Harvard Night" is to be observed this evening at Loew's State when the Back Bay theatre is to put on a program of general Harvard interest. The main feature of the program is to be Buster Keaton in "College", a typical burlesque of the collegiate picture. A comedy entitled "Harvard vs. Yale", and Creator and his band make up the rest of the program...
...take a hand in a free-for-all fight. He would not, however, be a contender in a tennis match, golf game or cross country run, for the reason that he has had no taste or training for the latter trinity.

...only occasion upon which Mr. Hays' "heart touch" seemed forced is when photographed with filmdom's buffoons-Ben Turpin, Buster Keaton. The dictator of the fourth largest industry possibly meditates upon a smug lawn and a White House in Washington-then sighs, returns to work. After all, he is a president. And, withdrawn from politics, he has become an unselfish deus ex machina to the movies, a veritable polychromatic Pollyanna...
