...Anthropology has already entered into an agreement with the Pathe News people to make somewhat dead subjects more significant, more graphic to the amateur scientist. But compared to the latest educational experiment of the History Department, the cinema idea must be classed as sterile in promoting interest and enthusiasm. Making dead bones live on the screen is tame compared to the thrills to be had in seeing members of the History Department, in costume, reenacting the glorious deeds of the past.

The silent thoughtful rather introspective Hannibal is perfectly presented by Philip Merivale...
President William T. Cosgrave of the Irish Free State paid a visit to Chicago a day or so ago, was received with enthusiasm and shown the sights of the city, including Mayor Thompson. The reception was characterized by good feeling and easy familiarity. There was no disturbance to mar the festivities, and the welcome to the Free State President was genuine and hearty.
