...that Mr. Hoover is a "stand-patter"--far from it. He is however, a man of wide experience, clear thinking and great devotion to liberty, and it is because he possesses these qualities that his opinions on civilization are of value. The belief he here states is that of all social philosophies now featured Individualism is the only true one. By this he means American Individualism; the doctrine that allows every man, unrestricted by class strata or any prejudices, an equal opportunity with others to make his way in the world. It is not, as Mr. Hoover points...
...When the rain goes a-pitter-patter," the Senior, today, refuses to be downhearted. To tell the truth he had rather looked askance upon the idea of parading about in the hot sun in the garb of a scholar, and the change of program would somewhat relieve his mind.

Felton and Fields, in black face, present a clever act of dance and patter. The Six Hassens, a troupe of Arabian acrobats, gave a very interesting exhibition of pyramid building and whirlwind tumbling.

There is also a rather elaborate musical comedy in one act, featuring Winnie Lightner and Company, which contains some comical patter, two or three excellent songs, and a brief but unusually artistic dance by Ramona...
...Keith's on Monday night, contrary to what one has come to expect on the ordinary vaudeville program, there were no poor acts sandwiched in between the head liners. A good gymnastic exhibition, a clever sketch--"The Dizzy Heights"; interesting juggling and patter by the Royal Gascoignes, well rendered monologues by Beatrice Herford, and a bit of dancing by Misses Brown and Weston, all went to make up a diverting program...
