...president of Globe & Rutgers Fire Insurance Co. (taken over last year by New York State's superintendent of insurance); that he and his secretary had reported Mr. Jameson's contribution to the Clerk of the House as only $17,300; that he had not only tried to conceal the amount of the contribution but had converted part of the money to his personal use-did not report it because he could not account for its spending.

MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD-Selma Lagerlöf-Doubleday, Doran ($2.50). For human character, as for meat, salt preservative. Selma Lagerlöf is an old lady but she is salty.

Ann Dvorak plays her young sister, infatuated with a poolroom loafer in the nearest village. What prevents Heat Lightning from being a first rate picture is that it lacks neatness of design. Good shot...
...interposition of a great deal of tact on the part of some one. The average professor or university bureaucrat resents any interference by the press in what he regards as his private business. The press, on the other hand, resents a policy of secretiveness and an attempt to conceal information which any semi-public institution like a university might be expected to make available...
