...married, father of two, Senator McCulloch resides at Canton, is frequently likened by sentimentalists to President William McKinley, long a Canton resident and buried there. For six years (1915-21) Senator McCulloch served in the House. This year he has been chairman of the State Utilities Commission. Quiet in manner, personable in looks, regular in his Republicanism, Senator McCulloch was chosen on a pledge to support "Hoover policies" in the Senate...
After showing off his talkie-phone, Mr. Grace demonstrated the newly Bell-discovered physiological fact that the human ear drum and surrounding tissues act in the same manner as the condenser plate of a radio receiver.

...Rigoletto" was the opera chosen for the opening night. The settings were conventional, a trifle simplified; the costumes constrastingly brilliant. But the manner in which the opera was sung and acted make the strongest impression of the evening: from the lighthearted courtly dance as the curtain rose, to the tragic closing duet of Gilda and Rigoletto, Mr. Franchetti conducted a group of singers that understood not only the musical but the dramatic possibilities of the work. Joseph Royer as Rigoletto, after passing easily through the opening scene, played his role with tremendous power. Mr. Onofrel was appealing as the Duke...
