...with Red Hair. As everyone who read Hugh Walpole's book knows, A Man with Red Hair concerns a self-immolating masochist whose philosophy is that pain gives power to the pained, makes the sufferer like unto God. Mr. Crispin learned the philosophy from his father who had tortured him as a boy. At Westminster he was different. His flamboyant red hair, pudgy hands and a distorted face which bespoke a grotesque mind, made him different through life. A man of wealth, he indulged his idiosyncratic taste for cruelty and his incongruous love of good etchings. He liked...
There she became the Great Jeritza to a gay, music-loving Vienna. Her fame grew with her repertoire. A beautiful prima donna has always seemed a phenomenon. Here was one magnificently built, with sea-blue eyes and golden hair. The public raved. Composers made their music for her. She created Strauss' Ariadne, later the Empress in Die Frau ohne Schatten.

In the many pictures in which the sisters have appeared together, Dorothy's acting, always accurate, lacked the indefinable distinction of Lillian...
...famed "Baseball Tsar" Landis, senior at Columbia. He entered the University when he was 15, wore short pants and black ribbed stockings through his Freshman year. His ambition to be a coxswain was frustrated by his mother who would not permit a nonswimming son on the Harlem River. His hair is usually tousled, his eyes sleepy, and great is his aptitude for poker. Last summer he won a Ford in a poker game. The Ford, however, would not run. His interest in baseball is only casual...
