...Mata Hari," which was reviewed in the CRIMSON on January 7, is now the major attraction at the University Theatre. It has the double disadvantage of being a story enshrouded in legend of which everyone knows something, and of following the similar movie, 'Dishonored." Without Greta Garbo as the famous dancer in the espionage service of the Central Powers, the movie would be utterly unsuccessful, so weak is the plot...

The country may have benefited by the redistribution of funds produced by wagers, won and lost, on the next sport to be glorified by the versatile female athlete who posed for a gasoline company as "Power," "Speed," and "Balance," in successive months. Undoubtedly bill-board advertisements, like traveling salesmen and muddy weather, being unpredictable, have added glamor to life, and being thoroughly vexing, strength...
