...Boston is called to notice that St. Patrick's Day must be coming. Which means green in the button-hole, spring in the air, and that joyous feeling in the heart which we haven't had since the snow turned black. "Irene" is a laughing little comedy well executed except in one spot and nicely adapted to the talents of Colleen Moore. The fatal spot is a color-film of a fashion show--perhaps very gratifying to those who like fash ions, but hard on those who think well of their eyes. De gustibus non disputandum est, which means that...
Mississippi two years ago had 25,000 members, now has about 18,000. Its strength is in cities and towns. Except for the state convention which nominated candidates to the 1924 Democratic National Convention, it has largely refrained from politics and chiefly confined itself to giving "tips" to prohibition agents on how to catch bootleggers...
...Benedictine monastery in Melk. Its great value comes from its being one of the 45 known remaining copies of the first complete book to be printed from movable type. In 1455, 300 sheets were run off and bound. The text runs in two columns, 42 lines to the page, except for the first nine pages, which in the first edition have only 40 lines of text. Initials and decorations appear in colored inks. The 1282 pages, in two volumes bound in brown calf, each measure...
...percentage of articles that strive to reproduce the phrasing and atmosphere of other times--of American Revolutionary days, or of England in the age of Puck of Pooks Hill. This sort of thing is, next to translating, one of the best possible fields for literary experimenting, largely because nothing, except translating, is more difficult to do well. That the efforts of the Advocate's contributors are passable, is high praise. Their common failing is less their individual fault than that of the readers of nowadays...
...Freshmen grapplers will meet a fast working team from Andover this afternoon at 3 o'clock in Hemenway Gymnasium. The lineup for the contest is the same as for the meet with the Springfield Freshmen except that Sykes, a 136 pounder who was forced to take on a 175 pound man will again wrestle in his own class. Kaufman is in the 175-pound class today as Goodwin is still out. Kaufman ordinarily works with the 158 pounders. Cowen has supplanted Lieberman in the 125-pound class and Lifrak, forced out of a job by Syke's return...
