...custom as well as the privilege of a drama uplift organization like the Repertory is to bite off larger pieces than it can chew. "John The Baptist," adapted by Frances Jewett from the "Johanues" of Hermann Sudermann, turned out to be quite a mouthful and was mangled with more or less success.

Last week Cyrus Hermann Kotzschmar Curtis, secured a new editor for his Manhattan paper, the New York Evening Post. The man whom Mr. Curtis secured is Julian Mason, who violates all newspaper tradition by being an exceedingly well dressed man, the best dressed editor in the country.* But Mr. Mason is not simply a natty dresser. He brought the Chicago Evening Post to a high rank among the newspapers of that city, was then called to Manhattan to become...
