...little over a year ago while crossing a street in San Francisco, an automobile came around the corner striking me from the rear and putting me through a perfect somersault. I did not have the slightest idea as to what happened until I came to in the street some moments later, in rather a bloody and dirty mess. In relating this incident afterwards-it seems that we must all tell of our operations and accidents-I have stated that there is only one word that can describe the sensation and that was one from the comic strip, namely: "WHAM...
...Boston cast is not supposed to compare very favorably with the New York cast, but taken by itself, it leaves very little to be desired. Priestly Morrison is a perfect Grandpa Martin Vanderhof, his starting statements and dry wit made doubly effective by the subdued tone he uses. All the people are very real, albeit somewhat incredible, down to Ulla Kazanova as the Grand Duchess Olga, who comes one night from Childs Restaurant to cook the supper...

Alone were Rexist newsorgans in screaming that in freely...
...Perfect example of the art which grew up in Mediterranean sunlight and in contempt of all barbarians North, East and South (see above) is the art of fresco painting. On the island of Crete and in Egypt as early as 2,900 B. C. artists were already masters in the technique of mixing sand, lime and water to form a smooth wall covering, painting it while still wet with wet pigments in extremely delicate and elaborate designs. From that day to this, however, the skill of the fresco painter has depended largely on his speed, because the time limit...
