Those who were not fortunate enough to view "Lucky Sam McCarver" while it lived, moved, breathed, and had its being can only determine its worth by reading--a test theoretically most satisfactory and at once most difficult, for a play is meant to be seen acted and not to be read. Obviously the experiment lacks certain dramatic elements, hitherto regarded as indispensable--plot, idea, and hero and heroine in the accepted sense of the words. Yet in just the same manner these alleged necessities are completely missing in John dos Passos' new novel, "Manhattan Transfer,' an innovation which has been...
...referred last week to the need of finding some way to retain the old element of solidarity in undergraduate life, which was a feature of daily chapel that meant much to many Yale men. The question is of course, how we can regain that old solidarity under conditions where the very force of numbers is at the base of the problem. In the three classes of the college there now are over 1400 men, and as things are going there will be 1500 in the near future. Thirty years ago there were 1150 men in the four classes. There...
...butterflies, swerved at the sound of a gun and passed between a committee yacht and a red buoy, putting out of Larchmont harbor into Long Island Sound. They were the interclub sloops (Marconi-rigged yachts, 19½ feet on the water line), the new racing boats; and their appearance meant that the yacht-racing season had begun again in Eastern waters. Soon the boats of the other classes -the graceful, low-leaning "S" boats with their big spread of canvas, the shorter "Victory" boats (single-masted crafts with self-bailing cockpits, easy to handle in rough weather), the midget "Fish...
...where last week he was shrewdly consummating the $35,000,000 sale of half his fleet to British operators, caused concern to U. S. shippers. They felt that this sale- of the British-registered but U. S. operated and underwritten White Star line's 500,000 gross tonnage- meant further disintegration of the U.S. merchant marine. It may be that President Franklin will use the sales proceeds to wipe out an International Mercantile Marine indebtedness of almost like amount or, and more probably, to buy up certain U. S. Shipping Board vessels, including perhaps the Leviathan, and thus really...
...name meant little to the neighbors. It meant much to musicians. They knew that Mrs. Roy Emerson Whittern is also Ethel Leginska,* famed more for her disappearances than for her appearances. They were interested to hear that Leginska says she has definitely retired from the concert stage: "The public will soon forget me as a pianist and I shall be glad. No one knows how I have suffered for the past 17 years every time I have been obliged to face an audience. Concert playing may be spectacular, but the great art is in composing and conducting. I am never...
