...hand in that bit of mean personal animosity as I am. I should like to take the opportunity of congratulating the author of that brief paragraph--who appears to have been too yellow to sign his own name to it--on the success of his little hoax. But it might be well to remind him, at the same time, that unpleasant things have been known to happen to people that acquire the habit of using other persons' signatures without their consent...
...more dry states that have not yet passed it, but their favorable decision is a foregone conclusion. It only needs the affirmative vote of four out of 16 wet states remaining to get the required two-thirds. If Massachusetts had followed New York and temporized, the wet forces might have stood some chance, but the example of the conservative Bay State will be of overwhelming value to the "drys".

As for Producer Woods, he is doing as well as when he produced "Bertha, the Beautiful Cloak Model," but not much better...
...minute the American officer--a captive in the chateau--enshrouds the German lieutenant-colonel in his khaki coat and has the firing squad mistakenly shoot him dead. Then the American contingent goes and nails the German general for good measure. Being fed up on such glorious killings, the auditor might expect to see Von Hindenburg shot through the heart for the final curtain, but the authors have not got that far yet. There is still hope, however, for they are yet rearranging the play...
