The western riders scored two goals in the first chukker, thus putting themselves in the lead, but five goals for Harvard in the next period, gave the visitors a lead that was never overcome. G. O.

That it was intended as a serious picture did not keep tolerant first-night audiences from chuckling happily at a cast of Parisian underworldlings who talk in the manner of the English nobility-rat Dolores Costello demanding "the jewels"; at Conrad Nagel who, told that his sweetheart has married in his absence, exclaims: "Then I'm too late!"; at a sister shaking a dying boy to bring him back to life; at the Hollywood conception of a Paris sewer; at a supposedly French priest reciting the Lord's Prayer with an Irish...
