...compete with private companies. When the PWA made a loan and grant to establish public plants in four small northern Alabama communities, the constitutionality of the project was promptly attacked by Commonwealth & Southern's subsidiary Alabama Power Co. A similar action was brought by Duke Power Co. against Greenwood County, S. C., which obtained a PWA loan and grant for construction of the Buzzard Roost hydro-electric project on the Saluda River. Both companies charged that PWA Administrator Harold L. Ickes was in effect using his program as a "club" to drive down private rates. Denied injunctions, company attorneys...
Charlotte Greenwood is back again in Boston (and has been ever since Christmas), amusing it, scaring it, singing to it, cavorting before it, and even offering to embrace it. For it seems that dramatic expression is not intimate enough, and after the play is over Miss Greenwood overflows with motherly endearments, sings "An Old Man's Darling" in loud and lusty shrieks, and then burlesques sex in a piece called "Moon Melody," using to capacity her amazingly ungainly person...

It is taken from "Post Road," one purpose of the adaptation being to include the name "Letty," Miss Greenwood's favorite alias.

Romaine Callender, for example, painfully overdoes the part of the minister. Of course, it might be pleaded that the acting within the acting should not be perfect, lost it cease to be acting. Russell Fillmore and Isabel Withers are good enough as the dim-witted, ineffectual brother-in-law and sister of the heroine. But good or bad, none of the supporting cast matters much. As the revelation or re-introduction...
...wrestling team will meet Brown on Saturday in the Indoor Athletic Building at 3 P. M., a Freshman wrestling match with the Bruins also being scheduled on that day. The Varsity swimming team, potentially one of the strongest in the country, has a match with Greenwood Memorial Club at 8:15 o'clock on Saturday, and the Freshman swimming team will meet Gardner High School on the same day at 4 o'clock. A Freshman basketball game with Tufts is scheduled for Wednesday to be played in the Indoor Athletic Building at 7:30 o'clock and to be followed...
