...front-row balcony. Both photoplays are literally photographed plays (most of New Faces was shot against the same flats used in the touring stage production), and as movies, they are rather like telephone kisses. But if the public likes them. Hollywood has found a cheap new way to make cine-musicals, for neither picture cost anywhere near...

...that rule, for Ivy is presenting the same sort of series BFS showed last year. We must excuse the Administration for this breach however, for it made its commitment last spring, before Ivy Films broached its closed series plan, and cannot reverse itself now. We hope however that Cine's current contract will be its last. And we hope that the University will continue its policy of "looking with disfavor" on applications to import those who merely add to undergraduate competition without supplying any new or different services...
