...Neill has dramatized Coleridge's Ancient Mariner without making it any less a tribute to "dat old Davil sea." Following the simple process of eliminating a few lines from the poem, he does not add a single phrase of his own except in the stage directions which-with the help of some lights-transform the poem into a drama. Following these directions, the Mariner mouths his anguished story at the Wedding Guest he has stopped; while the ghosts of the crew that died for his misdeed act as a muffled, mummified chorus...
...apparently exhausted oil field may be "rejuvenated" by a new water-flooding process which has been demonstrated practically in the fields of Bradford, McKeesport and Murraysville, Pa. In time the wells may refill and produce several times the quantity originally furnished. At Houston, Tex., the process was described by Roswell H.

A far more likely explanation lays the cause of the fire to a nest, built by either birds or mice, in which a match might have been used in the process of construction and then accidently ignited. Another fireman suggested that the workmen who had been repairing the southern side of the roof the evening before might have carelessly dropped a match or a cigarette. The chief, however, regarded it unlikely that the fire could have smoldered so long without breaking...
