...First Year. William Fox has made a celluloid comedy out of Frank Craven's brilliant play and done it badly. As you may infer, the plot is about first year married life. Most of it was shrewd character drawing and the small shot of family bickers. These things do not come down well for pictures. Nor were they well interpreted by Matt Moore and Kathryn Perry...
BITTERN POINT?Virginia Macfadyen-A. & C. Boni ($2). We have but two fitful glimpses of the piratical, tongueless Turk of these pages. Both occur in a swamper's hut in the 18th Century Carolinas. We infer that he is shy a finger on his strangling hand, that his dagger has a permanent wave and that his ministrations upon the persons of five young women derive from Jack the Ripper. We infer, that is all. Yet that is ample to earn this Turk several graduate and honorary degrees in murdery. From the barest hints he becomes a lurking presence whose actuality...
...cannot let pass without comment the attack on my judgement and my motives in the editorial entitled "Athletics for All" which appeared in your issue of December 5.

...Freeman of Washington, D. C. There was special interest in the possibility of Bishop Freeman being chosen, because there has been talk of transferring the headquarters of the Church from Manhattan to Washington, where the great new Cathedral is situated. Ill-advised newspaper scriveners went so far as to infer that if Bishop Freeman were chosen the new Cathedral in Washington would be the Episcopal Vatican of America, and Bishop Freeman the Pope...
...this quotation does the CRIMSON mean to insinuate that it is possible for even the mightiest mind, the weightiest arguments, or the most clever arrangement of facts to refute the teachings of Jesus Christ? Does it mean to infer that in the college the student learns these secret disproo's? That here his "ignorance" --the "ignorance" to which he must submit in order "to revert to religion . . . against his reason"--is shattered? That here he learns to despise Christianity because he has either discovered or been taught facts or "arguments . . . (which) . . . refute (the) words" of Christ...
