...what does he find when he enters the place of examination? The room is patrolled by monitors whose occupation, when not handing out note books is to glare suspiciously; and this they do for three hours. They have little faith in the student's power to resist temptation. They put him by himself with three or four empty seats between him and his neighbor, as if he were a moral leper. I don't precisely know what happens when the monitor catches someone cheating, but probably the criminal is expelled with indignation; is hailed before a dean; sermonized and expelled...
Bright by night is the.white dome of the U. S. Capitol, set like an enormous frosted wedding cake in the glare of encircling batteries of searchlights. Brighter than ever was the dome one evening hour last week when sharp flames leaped up through the Capitol roof...
...drawing p. 11); An unholy light filled the wide courtyard of Colorado's State Penitentiary at Canon City, the glare of floodlights and searchlights playing on Cellhouse No. 3. Two other cellhouses, the prison chapel and the messhall, were blazing ruins.

The Navy sent to Baltimore the big-gunned battleship New York and five other ships to fire salutes. Squadrons of Army, Navy and Marine airplanes gyrated geometrically. Three...
...henlike cackling of women in the lavabo. The Gamblers (Warner). This picture is a ponderous leer at Wall Street corruption. It has that annoying air of knowingness peculiar to bad parlor realism. In extraordinarily ornate offices, ballrooms, conservatories, H. B. Warner, Lois Wilson and Jason Robards argue and glare and pull each other around. The triangle includes a banker and his son who do not want their accounts investigated, a government investigator, and the investigator's wife who was once-and still is-in love with the banker's son. People who go to the movies every night...
