...consider that you were sent to an out-of-the-way place, as you charged in your statements officers who tell the truth...
Three Doors. An ill-fashioned farce wandered into an out-of-the-way uptown theatre and stumbled through a dismal two hours. Mystery and satire were the aims of the author, Edward E. Rose; his understanding of either seemed negligible. Assisting in the general depression was a generally inadequate band of actors. The sole novelty was the introduction of many of the characters from the auditorium. This trick has been done seven or eight times before...

The unusual feature of the eclipse of 1925 is that it will be visible in an unusually populous portion of this continent.

The January eclipse will stretch over a region where none such has been seen in the memory of living man. Its narrow band of shadow...

Aside from this feature, chief interest in Roscoe W. Brink's play is atmospheric, its locale being laid in an out-of-the-way community in the Catskills where piety is the main business and every other interest subsidiary. Here, in 1870, the elders, on finding a girl has been misled, hasten her marriage to the son of the village leader, sure that this will hush up everything...
