...purge his home of a golf champion who has been paying unwelcome attentions to his wife (Katherine Wilson). She conceals herself behind the parlor drapes to overhear his stern dismissal. All goes very well until the golfer pointedly reminds the husband that those who cherish their wives do not consort with Spanish dancers on the side. When he has gone, the curtains enfolding the wife never tremble. Their motionlessness is the essence of drama, and though a domestic tragedy has been laid bare, it is stated in such detached and plastic terms that the audience laughs...
Clip-clap, clip-clap through the tidy Hague, good motherly Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands clattered off last week in her State Coach to open Parliament. With her rode buxom, schoolgirlish Crown Princess Juliana and the Queen's fat but studiously self-effacing Prince Consort-Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. A smart troop of cavalry gave dash to the corpulent Royal turnout. Loyal crowds bellowed vociferously not "God Save the Queen!" but that grand old Dutch cheer, "Hold the Sea! HOLD...

When a second man-child was born (TIME, Jan. 30, 1928) the Croats got their innings, for the babe was soon Croatianly christened TOMISLAV. With Serbs and Croats satisfied it was high time, last week, to think of appeasing the Slovenes. Anxiously Queen...
...Ponselle sang her "Casta Diva." The great house listened. The top galleries bulged with humble music-lovers. In the boxes were the Italian Ambassador, Mme. Melba, Prince & Princess Bismarck, Margot, Countess of Oxford & Asquith, Lady Cunard, Lords Leesdale, Colebrooke and Monteagle, and onetime King Manuel of Portugal and his consort. . . . From top to bottom Covent Garden yielded itself to the spell of a glorious voice, forgot all traditions, burst into riotous applause. The third act brought another demonstration...
