...student, a Lowell House Junior, received through the mall an extortion note accompanied by a picture of a disrobed female reposing on a bench. "Remember the Rivera or was it Revere?" was the salutation of the letter. The text of the missive was brief--"Five thousand dollars . . . . OR ELSE." The signature was simply "Bev, the clutch," a name feared by the student to be that of a notorious Harvard Square and Huntington Avenue blackmailer...

There is no wild cheering, no drunken shouting, only the bursting applause rings out under the trees to punctuate the intermission. What emotions rise in the hearts of the people are unexpressed, but taken away into the night to add to their sense of beauty...
Moonlight Sonata (Pall Mall) has its soul in Parnassus, its feet in Grub Street. A trite British treatment of cinema's tritest theme, it makes the wobbly point that music hath charms to shoo the city slicker out of the country girl's heart. But what lofts it to the skies for two memorable reels is the piano-playing of 77-year-old Ignace Jan Paderewski, most notable pianist of his time, in cinema a tired old man in a tacky dress suit, a mismanaged...
