...announced that this year more attention is to be paid to specialty combinations than has been customary in previous years. With this end in view the management is calling especially for men who play the cornet or the from bone to play in the jazz band; for men who play saxaphones for the saxaphone quartet: and for a drummer for the Banjo Club.

The rest of us have our jazz, and our divorce problem, out movies and our bonus bills, but "The Origin of Species" is as completely vanished from the public mind as are last year's "Follies". The mental agony which rocked the world half a century ago now shakes Kentucky to its foundations; fifty years hence, they will...
