...there a possibility of placing the Eli's behind the hills of Kingston and the Tigers somewhere out along the old-town trolley line and having the two units pot at each other with tear gas shells, spectators properly protected? Or a marksmanship meet over a ten-mile range? The possibilities, indeed, are only limited by the range of one's imagination--not to say of the guns...
...very character of those future institutions, revolutionary and beyond imagination as they are--new international status, laws of private property totally unknown, strange governmental functions, unaccustomed relations between men, a society of which we today may have scarcely any conception. A great seething and confusion is about, a melting pot, into which the ideals, the aspirations, the hopes, and the passions of all classes and races of people have been thrown, and out of which will emerge our tomorrow. At such a time we can brook no provincialism. Men must known that if they are to taken their due share...
Strange situation that the critic should approach George Bernard Shaw with a genuine mixture of doubt and skepticism! And yet not strange, when one considers the things which have emanated from that brilliant melting-pot of inconsistencies. "Major Barbara," now playing at the Plymouth Theatre, does not change matters at all, for it is about as capable of being fully appreciated by an American audience as the Zend Avesta by a white-tied Methodist.

...most readers. The second literary essay, Mr. Littell's "Imagines and Gargoyles," seems the work of a writer who has not grown up no his vocabulary, but who has things to say and may discipline himself into saying them well. Of the two stories, Mr. Dos Passos's "Pot of Tulips" contains skilful description and an inimitable heroin. Mr. Whittlesey's "Best Laid Schemes" is lively, humorous, and endowed with a "double back action" in its final surprise. "The Poet and the Porcupine" by Mr. Rogers is a well-told fable, the moral of which is not pointed. The writer...
