This selection concludes a successful year during which three plays were given. Before Cambridge audiences the players have put on George Bernard Shaw's difficult "Great Catherine," Ibsen's seldom-given "When We Dead Awaken," and the well-received "Uncle Vanya," by Chekov, which the Guild Theatre revived in New York last year...
...York. The new style stressing the horizontal line in low two-story residential buildings with great rectangular areas of cement and glass, has materialized in a large homestead development in Vite Park, Cleveland, where the New York architects, Clauss and Daub have made a venture.

President Ortiz Rubio ordered the Mexican Army to watch the border for the kidnappers. The Changchow Merchants' Guild of Peiping sent sympathy. Episcopal Bishop Manning of New York ordered his flock to pray for the infant's safe return. School children and 500,000 Companions of the Forest of America also prayed, as did Philadelphia Lutherans, New Jersey Methodists. Crowds in Buenos Aires watched bulletins, took the whole affair...
