Kultur (by Adolf Philipp; J. J. Vincent, producer) hastens into the U.S. Theatre as the first play about Hitlerite Germany. In its humble way it sets out to show that a number of wrongs do not make a Reich. A university professor's family has fallen hard for the exciting propaganda of an unnamed European Chancellor. Anti-Semitism is the statesman's chief principle. Even the professor's monocled son-in-law quickly drops his Jewish mistress, confiding: ''Had I known of the success in store for our leader two years ago, my interest...
Next day in Bremen, at the annual meeting of the North German Lloyd, ex actly the same drama was played in almost the same words. Stockholders accepted the resignation of Lloyd's grizzled chief, famed Philipp Heineken, and elected Nazi Helfferich to serve also as their board chairman. No plans whatever for the re-organization of Germany's two greatest shipping lines were announced.

A small-town lawyer in Blanchardville, Wis., he organized two banks, fussed with insurance, then got into politics. Governor Emanuel L. Philipp made him his counsel, then Wisconsin's insurance commissioner. He heckled the insurance companies enough to make them agree to the regulations now enforced, smiled enough to keep in the good graces of the companies. Northwestern made him a vice president in 1919. He is big, hearty, broad-shouldered...
...infantile paralysis season, three Stanford University men announced that they had isolated and measured an organism which they were certain caused infantile paralysis. The organism measures less than one-half millionth of an inch. The investigators- Drs. Charles Eglof Clifton, Edwin William Schultz and Louis Philipp Gebhardt-figured the size by filtering material from a case of infantile paralysis through the pores of unglazed, fine porcelain. They knew the size of the pores. The filtrate caused the active disease in monkeys. That confirmed the doctors' belief that they possessed the cause of the disease. "A very, very interesting addition...
