Senators (Mitchell and Durante) who proceed from an argument about the tariff to a slapstick vaudeville tumbling act; a scene in which Stepin Fetchit goes wading in a goldfish bowl hoping to catch a haddock; a pleasing song called "Baby Take...
Frederick Walbridge Hoeing, proctor, instructor, raconteur, and goldfish keeper par excellence, sits at the desk before his History 1 "C" section.

...railed boxes lined up in cinema-house fashion at the back of the house. But in ten new boxes built in an old-fashioned semicircle downstairs, those who had the desire and the price could see and be seen at this week's opening. It was among the goldfish and the bull-fiddles in the Hub Store office of the late George Lytton that the new Chicago Grand Opera Company was born. George Lytton, who died fortnight ago of heart trouble (TIME. Dec. 18), and Banker George Woodruff did the figuring. A five-week season, they decided, could...
