NowaDays. When two girls fancy a man, everyone is apt to be perturbed, and someone, according to Playwright Arthur F. Brash, is likely to get killed. Barbara Herford and Paula Newhall bet fifty dollars over Boyd Butler, a robust footballer who was also greatly interested in such erudite matters as coin collections...

The revolting waters had tossed...
