Crack! The spectators twitched. The bullet leaped from a little copper-plated cannon, zipped into a target 50 ft. away. There was a sharp, short glow of pale blue light on the screen, where the watchers glimpsed the silhouette of the bullet, apparently motionless though it was traveling...
...Rosenberg is not entirely unreligious. Indeed out of his revised history and his Nordic mythology he has erected a pagan worship which substitutes Odin for Moses, Siegfried for Saul, and 2,000,000 World War heroes for Christianity's company of saints.

After two seasons in Manhattan plays, she secured a Universal contract, playing bits...
...trials off Cowes. In three races, Thomas Octave Murdoch Sopwith's new Endeavor, in which he and Mrs. Sopwith expect to cross the Atlantic this month, beat her trial horse, W. L Stephenson's Velsheda, twice. Unlike the Shamrocks which were all green, Endeavor is a pale hydrangea blue. She is built entirely of steel except for a mahogany rudder, silver-spruce boom and pine decks...
