...published if you care to use it. Mrs. Staples is an elderly woman, to whom Westport and everything connected with it is very dear. Her family and her husband's have been identified with the town since it was settled. They now belong to the older and conservative element in the town, but are just as quick to resent any reflection on the community as the new residents could...
...performances that can have no interest to an outside public, the Harvard Dramatic club will amuse itself and the friends of the players by reviving next month "Murray Hill," farce by the actor.

The rest of the players are indifferent and the play itself is pretty well outdated. It contains some fine Turkish architecture and one beauteous shot...
...Evening Post serial, Spanish Acres, it is in effect a long argument as to whether some sheep owned by a U. S. boy are to be grazed on land owned by a gullible Spanish rancher. Richard Arlen is the hero, Rosita Moreno is the rancher's daughter. One element of comic relief is the occasional intrusion of a young boy and girl who have the fearful coyness inevitable in camera-trained children under twelve...
