...belated reunion, [n 1923, when Soprano Moore was in the Music Box Revue, Montemezzi coached her for a Metropolitan audition, and she vowed that some day she would sing in his opera. Well she sang it, but she postured in stained-glass attitudes, walked in the gait of a woman trying out an unfamiliar wooden leg.

...Chamber of Deputies one day last week. From the packed galleries above him angry Bolivian spectators hissed & booed, kept up a steady chant of "Down with the Jews! Death to the Jews!"

S. look toward thin-faced, worried Woodrow Wilson, about to marry Mrs. Gait. When Charles Evans Hughes quits the Supreme Court to run against Wilson, and almost wins, a period in history is already drawing to a close. Sometown's main street sees its first Preparedness Day parade, and in Washington the parade is led by Wilson himself. At Sagamore Hill. Theodore Roosevelt...
