...HAIL FELLOW, THAR SHE BLOWS! Correspondence from our reporter covering the Staten Island Expedition, with special attention to good fellowship and all the jolly things one sees-By wireless to The New Yorker Times Company and by wireless right back to the correspondent collect. Copyright by The New Yorker Times Company, as if anybody cared.-On board the Naphtha Launch City of Over Ten Thousand, in sight of Staten Island, Jan. 10. (Via Ferryboat Irma. Same date) . . .

Last week, among many notables who applauded Kreutzberg in Manhattan, were German Ambassador and Frau von Prittwitz, Playwright Noel Coward, Actress Beatrice Lillie, Singers Maria Jeritza and Mary Garden, and Mrs. Vincent Astor.

...their mode of life, have shown in recent films a happy tendency to satirize themselves. Love is all they take seriously now, and they may even change their attitude about that for the better. Norma Shearer, at least, outwitting Lowell Sherman, a rival racketeer, or finding out that the fellow she wants to gyp is not as rich as she hoped, provides an entertaining hour...
