...four pieces will be presented. They are, -- "The Golem;" "Jacob's Dream;" "The Dybbuk;" and "The Eternal Jew." As in the case of the Moscow Art Theatre, knowledge of the language of the players is by no means necessary; the astounding effects make their impression regardless. Such men as Maxim Gorky, Stanislavsky, Ghaliapin and Lenin have been won to the cause of the Habima at their first performance, and it is due to the ardent championing of these men that the Habima has survived the troubled days of the Revolution, and is now able to offer to Boston the astounding...
DECADENCE-Maxim Gorky-McBride ($2.50). Freely translated, the pen-name, "Gorki," means "bitter."* But in this study of Russian babbitts, Author Gorky is no Sinclair Lewis.

Or is TIME'S measure of greatness financial rather than moral...
Since these remarks flatly contradict the maxim of Mussolini: "'Nothing outside the State! Nothing against the State!" the Vatican news organ, Osservatore Romano, sought next day to soften the Pope's rebuke to Mussolini. The editor ingeniously declared that President Coolidge and Premier Mussolini both "are agreed on the principle of the pre-eminence of spiritual things." From Mr. Coolidge was quoted: "Religion is necessary"; but the nearest similar remark which could be quoted from Mussolini was of very different purport: "Youth must be brave, honest and upright...
