...sure, that TIME quoted Mr. Cameron Rogers* in its choice of terms, but it is sometimes hard to tell when TIME is quoting and when TIME is merely trying to be funny in the college humor fashion, and in either event TIME might keep itself better informed. In order to forestall any attempted wisecracks about my religious beliefs, please note that I believe in God, and that my faith is neither helped nor hurt by TIME's jackassery. And I may add that my authority for Ingersoll's agnosticism-not atheism- is, in addition to the evidence...

Other insects-an author, a smalltime poet with a dull buzz, a sculptor-swarm drowsily in the lethargic air. Love affairs, talk, small business, occupy their time until...
...many a jest,* audiences are beginning to realize that Lon Chaney stands on a pedestal of Hollywood, the one actor dedicated to the serious grotesque. His most recent incarnation is Alonzo, armless wonder of a traveling circus. In reality a full-bodied man, Alonzo straps himself into deformity in order to conceal from a hounding police that the double-thumbed hand identified with a notorious murder is his own. So accustomed is he to eating, drinking, smoking with his toes, that even when free from the straps, his hands dangle idle. Later, after being provoked to a second murder...
