With the exception of Mr. Joseph Kilgour who gives an excellent portrait of a well-meaning gentleman in his amorous fifties, and Miss Louise Galloway, whose guardian aunt evades the obviousness of a "character part," Miss Brady's support is none too good. But Miss Brady is one of the few actresses who can carry a play by her own individuality an ability. Playing in a quiet manner, much different from her hectic incoherence of "Bride Of The Lamb", she is splendid as one of the girls you forget to remember. The moral appears to be that husbands...
...Italian Renaissance sculpture taken by Professor Kennedy in 1925-26 in connection with his study of Desiderio da Settignano, and of classical sculptures, some photographed several years earlier. Among the Italian sculptures are details of the Tomb of Carlo Marsuppini and the Tomb as a whole, also several Portrait busts.

...Vanderbilt Sr.'s yacht, Atlantic, and a touching reference to the $4,000 per day it cost to operate her. At the head of a column in his admittedly vulgar N. Y. Mirror, Publisher Hearst was pleased to print young Mr. Vanderbilt's name and portrait. Young Mr. Vanderbilt's column, headed Now, was modeled after the Brisbanal TODAY in other Hearst sheets. Whenever possible, the self-conscious young paragrapher proved his lack of "false modesty" by dragging in his family's name, pointing to a Vanderbilt "folly," such as belonging to many clubs and building...
