...Trelawny love of violence-he slaughtered Malays, bashed Turks-is substituted, or at least talked a great deal about, a love of Romance-and of "good copy." Both have written with an (extravagance surpassing mere boastfulness and Playboy Halliburton, though constantly referring to himself as "such a nut" and "incorrigible" and "foolish," has the editorial wit to push a lot of his playfulness off on various traveling companions. Also, knowing his public, Author Halliburton carefully explains that whenever the companion happened to be a female they stayed at separate hotels...
Here is the drama of life in a nut, shell for those who are interested in such things. Picture the distress of the young lady who, as she makes her first graceful debut down the sliding board, fails to catch the public fancy, and is compelled to sit ignored and unmolested while the balls strike right and left around help. Picture also the situation of her who attracts the admiration of a star pitcher, and must spend her days and nights in sliding down and climbing up again in answer to his call...
...like the late Viscount Bryce, pounded a desk and argued a water power case with vigorous conviction. He was Moses Hooper-for 70 years an able lawyer of Oshkosh, Wis.

Barnes Co., Philadelphia chemists, out of which the Barnes Collection grew. Albert C. Barnes is the sort of person who gets himself called, variously, "crazy nut," "queer fish," "genius." His personality has exasperated staid Philadelphians quite as often as his paintings have upset academicians of the school of fine arts at the University of Pennsylvania, whose senior member called them "rot" in 1923, after Mr. Barnes had endowed a chair in the school. Dr. Barnes, in short...
...orchestra drops dead or the vacuum tubes blow out, did phonograph-makers realize what a musical bonanza they had failed to exploit. And if long-time records would sell, then music that it takes a long time to play could be recorded and probably sold. Hence the "in-a-nut-shell" sales elocutions on "good" music with which Victor furnished its salesmen last week when it brought out records that will play for an hour. The hour-long records are not several feet wide, of course. Ingenuity has replaced generosity and the Victor innovation consists in a magazine or loading...
