...halfback and the thums-down plebeian of the Rome of Caligula. There is less between the Park Avenue matron in sables, emeralds and satin and the Rhine countess who wore at dance festivals the plunder of there unguarded trade routes. The stadium seems, however, somewhat more than a link between the varied ages and concession to the gregarious instinct. It is for those Americans who have diminished interest in the ordained issues of politics and ecclesiastics, a necessary focal center, necessary because it provides an opportunity for arrogant partisanship and an actual uncertainty as to the outcome...
Composed entirely of accepted modernist leaders, the exhibition proved that the freakishness of cubism, vorticism, other truculent cults, is quite defunct. There was little that was crude, nothing that was incoherent. Gaugin's bizarre self-portrait seemed to link his face with his own favorite Tahitian fruits; the sardonic humor of the piece was queer but clear. He displayed also a serene Breton landscape, a lovely canvas which could cause no retching among the most conservative.

German-born Banker Hecht has become so substantial a support of Louisiana industry that the Times-Picayune gratefully hailed him as New Orleans...
...parents of John Harvard were probably first brought together by William Shakespere. Following the clue offered by the circumstances that Miss Katherine Rogers lived near the home of Shakespere in Stratford and Robert Harvard lived in London, between which city and Stratford William Shakespere was the only "antecedent link" that research has brought to light, this writer continues that the poet probably invited his London friend Robert Harvard to Stratford. There he may have introduced this friend to Miss Rogers, whom Shakespere surely knew, as both his father and hers were Aldermen in the little town. Furthermore, Shakespere...
