...rather more than evident that Miss Morrison keeps an ear to the open window to catch her neighbors' squabbles. The chief merit in the play is the fierce joy you can derive by turning to Aunt Jane beside you and disturbing all within hearing distance with the obvious query: "Isn't that just like the Sullivans...
Winifred Lenihan was selected by the Guild to play Joan, despite obvious physical demerits. She is small, not the least masculine. Yet, looking back, it is impossible to picture the play without her performance. It seemed spiritually inspired, valiantly sustained, utterly convincing. The remainder of the cast maintain the enviable standard of the Guild productions. The designing in settings and costumes by Raymond Sovey rank at the head of the season's stage investitures...
...made by the Department of Agriculture, places the figure for 1923 at $8,322,695,000. This represents an increase of $800,000,000 over the crops of last year, and is about $2,000,000,000 more than crop values in 1921. It is obvious that the farmer is finding his way out of the great agricultural depression...
Whatever the reasons for this step, it was perfectly obvious that the Fascista Party, which means Mussolini, had everything to gain and nothing to lose.

For the Fascista Party this would mean an increase of 324 seats, in itself a very great advantage to Fascismo...

As helium when originally produced was very rare, costing about $1,700 per cubic foot (a large dirigible requires a million or more cubic feet), the reasons for the present optimism regarding its commercial use are obvious. Before the War probably not more than 15 cubic feet of the isolated helium were in existence. At the close of the War the U. S. had developed the process of manufacture and had a considerable quantity in storage for shipment to the front. All the helium now being produced is utilized...
