President Roosevelt went out to Griffith Stadium to see the Washington Senators win their only game of the World Series from the New York Giants (see p. 40). Two other spectators at the game were moose-tall Sir Ronald Lindsay, British Ambassador to the U. S., and scowling, bald-browed Sir Frederick William Leith-Ross, economic adviser to His Majesty's Government, in the U. S. to talk about settling Britain's $4,500,000,000 War Debt (TIME, Oct. 9).

Curiously, Another Language suffers from the same fault that was in the cinema version of The Silver Cord-overemphasis. As though he feared that his audiences would miss the point, Director Edward H. Griffith made all the minor Hallams monsters instead of people. At the two Hallam parties-in which most of the action of the play goes forward-the guests behave with such dismal lack of manners that it is hard to believe that anyone clever enough to marry Stella could fail...
