Its director succeeded in interesting...
...thus, without benedictions, that the Vagabond, who, alas, spent yesterday in sloth and who will spend today in feverish retribution therefor, directs, as a modern Messiah, his followers out of the wilderness of worldly college life to the basement lecture room of Fogg Museum tomorrow at noon. There Professor Kirsop Lake, who knows Palestine as intimately as Winchell knows his Broadway, will read the Bible as it should be read and talk of it as it should be talked of, interpreting its grandeur with alternate wisdom, emotion, and humor...
