...rumored that Producers Miller and Woods with their complaint had furnished the Equity Council with affidavits, signed by observant hotel employes, physicians, theatre managers and fellow players, asserting that Actress Eagels' persistent ptomaine poisoning was caused by drink. The Actors' Equity Association asserted that it would punish Actress Eagels with becoming severity should the charges against her be proven true. Becoming severity in such a case might conceivably mean expulsion from the Equity Association, an action which would be sufficient to clip the wings of her stage career...
Last Friday Ass No. 1 was heard braying a pitiful complaint against the English 72 examination. "Woe is me, the naughty professor gave us an examination on outside reading and outside reading only.

At the annual meeting of the assembly, this year to be held at Tulsa, Okla., late in May, Presbyterian squabbles are given a good thorough airing. This may be one of the squabbles which will enliven this year's session: New York Presbytery against the field...
Evangelist Sunday paid little attention to the complaint made by a local minister that he had shown signs of commercialism in his recent Chicago revival. His Man Friday, Ralph T. Finley, of the local committee, announced from the Coliseum platform that all the proceeds from that revival had been pledged to the Pacific Garden Mission, where Sunday himself had been converted...
