...door theatre beneath the hill was being performed the Pilgrimage Play, a 15-year-old event in California. Compiled by the late Christine Wetherill Stevenson, a rich Bible student who left money to assure its performance, the Pilgrimage Play presents the entire life of Christ. The actors, like Ian Maclaren who has been Christ for six years, are professionals. The director is Phil Whiting, professional Los Angeles pageant producer. A hidden orchestra plays softly, voices chant ancient church music. The Pilgrimage Play goes on nightly for ten weeks...
...four companies involved-Beau-harnois Light, Heat & Power; Ottawa Valley Power; Maclaren-Quobec Power; Gatineau Power-have $172,000,000 of bonds in the hands of U. S., .Canadian and British investors. Typical is Gatineau, nearly one-half of whose annual revenue of around $9,000,000 is derived from its contracts with Hydro. In Gatineau's case, however, the Premier proposed to make a partial exemption for practical operating reasons: Hydro might buy Gatineau current at present rates "as it deems advisable...
Regarding the "Keep Off the Grass" signs TIME mentioned-Mr. Fleishhacker did not have these removed from Golden Gate Park for the reason that they never existed due to such being an anathema to John MacLaren, who laid out the park and is still, at the age of 84, superintendent of parks.

They took off again for the Azores, flew into a high wind over heavy seas, were not again seen or heard from. A few optimists clung to the ephemeral hope that the flyers were alive on one of the outlying Azores. But cold reason labelled the Tradewind the seventeenth transatlantic plane to be lost since 1927; the pilots the 30th and 31st; Mrs. Hart the fourth woman...
Guessers. In the Bellanca seaplane Tradewind, Lieut. William S. MacLaren, former U. S. N. pilot, and his pupil Widow Beryl Hart, 27, transport pilot, took off from New York last week for Bermuda, Azores, Paris. Instead of a radio the plane carried a small cargo of advertised foodstuffs for "the first payload flight to Europe." In "rocking" the plane off the still water the flyers knocked to the floor their sextant - only navigating instrument aboard - but instead of turning back they elected to guess their course. Navigator MacLaren guessed right at first, picked up two steamers about halfway; guessed wrong...
