...secretary of the Central Federated Union, sees in the widespread unemployment the direct result of a conspiracy to force labor to take what work and wages it can get. "I am not a prophet," he says, "so I cannot say what the end will be. . . Take the cloth and hat and cap makers, for instance. This is usually the busiest time of the year for them, but three-quarters of them are out of work. . . . What does this mean? To me it seems to be but the beginning...
Students in the University, and especially those in the Graduate Schools and Law School, are warned against a group of swindlers who are operating in Cambridge, and selling low-grade domestic cloths as expensive imported goods.

...scenery in "Fame and the Poet", however, will stand a few adverse comments. It had no definite character; it added nothing to the picture. There were no specific faults, except the wall cloth in rear of the altar, but the totality seemed rather far from the spirit of the play. The view over the roof tops from the Poet's window was extremely good, and in some measure atoned for the colorless interior. The lighting was good and well managed...
