...MacKellar is the first star to make her bow with the new season. Pretty, blonde, possessed of a graciousness akin to that of Ina Claire, she does her best with the meagre opportunities Through The Night offer her. More impressive vehicles in which she has appeared include: Beyond The Horizon, Back Pay, A Good Bad Woman. Hot Rhythm. Producers of Negro reviews almost always make the mistake of trying to ape the elegance of contemporary Caucasian extravaganzas, as though afraid that just dancing and crooning- at which blackamoors often excel whites- are not sufficient for an evening's entertainment...
...flat, the weather fair on March 4, 1918, when the Navy's 19,360-ton collier Cyclops put out of Barbados for Baltimore. She was carrying a heavy cargo of Brazilian manganese, badly needed by U. S. steel plants making War munitions. She slipped over the Caribbean horizon and, though no enemy warship was thought to be in the vicinity, she never was heard from again, by wireless or otherwise.

As a President with instincts toward creative civilization, who had just engaged to limit such power...
Stolen Show. The cruisers, destroyers and big submarines V-1 and V-2 (which had saluted by diving when abreast of the reviewing ship) all sped to the southeastern horizon, the dreadnaughts turning eastward into battle line, to prepare for a mock engagement between the Fleet's light forces and its "backbone." Meantime, having sounded their little salute guns, the Saratoga and Lexington turned westward, into the wind. The Salt Lake City turned with them so that she ran between. On the 2½-acre plateau decks of the two huge mother ships waited 150 airplanes, with all motors...
