...bounds'' (TIME. Nov. 30), Hinkler was out over the South Atlantic in his little 90-h. p. Puss Moth, alone as Lindbergh. Behind him lay the port of Natal; ahead of him a 1,600-mi. span to Africa which no airplane had yet flown eastward. In moonlight darkened by occasional squalls Pilot Hinkler flew 22 hr., sat down at the little colony of Bathhurst, British Gambia, with an hour's fuel in his tanks. He refuelled, flew on to Dakar. Why he undertook the hazardous flight, why he made his surprise flight from New York...
...running across Asia and making a big jump to get to the Philippines. In Siam he has lunch with King Prajadhipok, laughs at the picture of himself perspiring in a stiff collar. In India he examines a snake, shoots a leopard, expresses conventional approbation of the Taj Mahal by moonlight. The commentary is gay, sometimes painfully so. When elephants lollop in a river, Fairbanks says: "They wear nothing but their trunks." Commenting on a Japanese prizefight, he imitates a radio announcer, ends with, "Graham McNamee announcing." There is no pun about Chinese junk. Pictorially, Around the World in 80 Minutes...
...Yale Club will open the program with four numbers: "Fight," a student song of Finland, by R. Faltin; "By Moonlight," by von Othegraven, a tenor solo; "Waters Ripple and Flow," a Czecho-Slovakian folk song arranged by Deems Taylor, sung by J. VanB. Griggs; "Danse Macabre" by Saint Saens.

The first part of the program will then be concluded by the joint rendition of several choruses from the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, "The Mikado...
...Music 4c, Beethoven, in the Music Building. Professor Ballantine, piano; Malcolm Holmes, violin; and R. U. Jameson, 'cello, will collaborate in a repetition of the trio, Opus 1, number 3, which they performed at Dunster House last night. The Vagabond never did believe in the myth of the Moonlight Sonata and the more he hears of Beethoven the more far-fetched such tales seem to him. Beethoven was too great to think of pictorial music. He wrote of the effect externals have on the singing soul and the trio Music 4c will hear today has over been a favorite, invoking...
...like a campaign speech of "Fighting Bob" La Follette's before a group of deaf mutes. In the country there is some raison d'etre for a moon. Mountains, valleys, and tall timber are creatures of the night. They take on new lustre and majesty in cool October moonlight, and the awkwardness of day is softened. There have been, there are, and there will be many apostles of the moon. An Emperor or of Rome, one Caligula, a mad wight, once paid court and married her. He died soon after, broken hearted and without an heir. That ephemeral immortal...
