Tribune and Post printed comparatively restrained reports. But the Daily News and Hearst's Herald & Examiner scarcely tried to conceal their evident belief that Mrs. Pollak's efforts to escape punishment were as ludicrous and hilarious as Roxie Hart's, also as empty of merit and as likely to succeed. The Herald & Examiner assigned its cinema reviewer, Carol Frink, to cover the trial as she might cover a comic melodrama...
...seen many "Duncan Dancers." New to the Lewisohn Stadium was the group which performed last week: large-legged Irma Duncan and her Isadora Duncan dancers, known simply as Ruth, Sima, Julia, Hortense, Minna and Raya. For them a stage was built in the Stadium, a lattice set up to conceal the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra. Barefoot, clad in flowing Greek garments, they performed Tchaikovsky's "Pathetic" Symphony, two Slavonic Dances of Dvorak, the rollicking Dance of the Apprentices from Wagner's Die Meister singer.

Eastman had good reason to be tired by that race. If he was, he managed to conceal it. After an hour's rest, he started near the front in the half-mile and took the lead after 400 yards.

No decoration scheme could conceal the fact that there was more empty floor space than in any previous National Aircraft Show. The planes on display numbered only half of last year's. But the exhibitors assured each other that they, who had answered this roll call, were in business to stay; pointed with pride to advances...
...Leverett maintains an attractive and congenial atmosphere. The public rooms are large and graceful with an air of comfortable informality. In decorating the dining room, one of the handsomest features of the House Plan, the architects made skilful use of two circles, of unequal size, and an oval, to conceal through optical illusion the fact that the room, following the plot of ground on which it is built, is a trapezoid. The Junior Common Room, while too small for any large House function, offers a pleasant gathering place for after dinner coffee and the various talks which have been given...
