...much press-agented, film version of "Brown of Harvard" has finally been released for the screen, the picture having been exhibited at the Harvard Union. The production of this play in April, 1907, was the occasion of a notorious riot at the opening performance at the majestic Theatre in Boston. The film will be shown this week at Loew's State Theatre in the Hub City, and the Harvard CRIMSON expresses a fear that, judging by the reception it received at the hands of the large crowd of undergraduates who witnessed the picture at the Union, a repetition...
That anyone who appreciates the moving picture genre will understand how moving picturesque is Brown seems obvious. The film version is not half so fair to the Radcliffe author an to the humorist who retouched the story for the screen. But perhaps it is fair enonugh. The Dramatic Club must now have its try.

Bartlett in the ice-ship Karluk in 1913; flew another hour, whizzing 70 miles into a frozen desert never before penetrated by man. When they circled back they had seen no land, but from their lofty lookout they had explored by eye a swath of the unknown perhaps 60 miles wide and 100 long ? 6,000 square miles of "new world." Returning, they had flown far inland before...
