...merely an honorary Papal Chamberlain. As such he can no more be said to be a representative of the Roman Curia than one who has received a medal from Congress may be said to represent Congress. 3) The organization of a Diocesan Matrimonial Court is outlined, and in detail, by the Canon Law of the Church to such an extent that every official connected with the Court, or any one allowed to appear before it of the must be explicitly sanctioned by the Bishop of the Diocese. Mr. Leccisi, as far as I know, has not been approved...
...accurately, the Marguerita was, just incidentally, one Natalie Hall; Mephistopheles was George Fleming Houston; the aged Faust, Patrick Kilkelley; the youthful Faust, Clifford Newdall; Valentin, Raymond Koch.

Nine-tenths of the putrid detail and the revolting accounts of the Snyder-Gray murder and the overtures of the amorous Browning ought never to have been put in public print...
Cheating Cheaters. Almost the entirety of the plot is expressed in the title. In detail, it concerns two bands of thieves who are busily engaged in stealing from one another, each unaware that the other band is devoted to the same purpose. By the time that this point is cleared up, Betty Compson (who has been a detective all along) arrests both bands of robbers. Though totally ineffective as badmen, the thieves are comparatively comic, which is what they are intended...
