...Elkins is perhaps a little too convincing as the bad Mr. Tracey, but the fault is more than made up by the gentlemanly Mr. Nedell, who runs true to form and contrary to nature in his conduct when alone in a shooting lodge with a "seductive siren." Mr. Collier, as Keen Fitzpatrick, was even more like a reporter than most butlers are like butlers...

...last year, has a eleven team to send against the Crimson and one that succumbed last year only after two hard fought games. Whether it will be equal to the task of stopping the smooth passing Crimson sextet is a matter of conjecture, for in contrast the most noticeable fault of the Nassau skaters has been the failure to develop a line which coordinates...
