...part of its War Memorial program, San Francisco proudly opened the first U. S. civic opera house, equipped even to private quarters for the stage animals. Merola's formula remained the same as at the old Auditorium. He kept the seasons short, used the local symphony orchestra and local choristers, sold out his performances with Big Names. The local backlog became stronger with the foundation of a ballet school with able Adolph Bolm, oldtime Diaghilev dancer, in charge. Last year, spending some $40,000 on scenery alone, the San Francisco Opera produced Wagner's Ring cycle, headed...
...Woman Rebels (RKO). Ever since Katharine Hepburn set the cinema industry by the ears with Little Women, her employers have been trying doggedly to discover just what elusive factor, added to the stock formula of Lavender & Old Lace, made that picture so sensationally successful. A Woman Rebels represents an effort to discover if the element was the revolt of a young girl against convention.

In case something should happen to all three at once, copies of the formula are cached in two bank vaults, one in Trinidad, the other in London. The Wuppermanns (A. Edward and Francis- Frank Morgan) are merely the U. S. distributors of the Bitters...
Fifty years ago last week at Chicago, a triennial General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church prayerfully considered and at length approved a four-point formula for Christian Unity. Adopted by a Pan-Anglican Lambeth Conference in 1900, the Lambeth Quadrilateral stands today, a noble idea like the League of Nations which may some day work. Its formulators invited all Christendom to accept: " 1) the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as revealed Word of God; 2) the Nicene Creed as the sufficient statement of the Christian Faith; 3) the two Sacraments -Baptism and the Supper...
