Dartmouth and Williams followed Yale as the most popular men's college after Princeton. Yale polled 365 votes and Dartmouth came second with 34. Norma Shearer won a close race from Greta Garbo as the most popular feminine star in the film firmament. Adolph Menjou's margin of popularity over Dougias Fanbanks was 101 to 50 however...

In fact nearly everything about the show is excellent, except its massive length and breadth. Perhaps banting would help...
