...this audience is handicapped by having only two evenings in which thus to enjoy the Glee Club. This paucity of appearances is certainly not to be excused on the grounds of slight interest; if there is a substantial reason for limiting the number of concerts to two, it must be found in the difficulty of training the singers for more frequent meetings of the type. However, similarity of programs is not particularly an evil, when the membership of the audience changes to some extent each time, and when the programs are of such real merit as those Doctor Davison offers...
Carmen. Made in Spain and directed by a Frenchman, this is the best of a half dozen film versions of Prosper Merimée's mighty story. The reason is Raquel Meller (pronounced May-aire), the sorceress whose rich voice, ink-black locks, hands like moonstruck faces bewitched Manhattanites at $27.50 a head, two springs ago (TIME, April 26, 1926).

Toward Henry Ford, Mr. Raskob exhibited the greathearted attitude of modern big business: "It is important to our country that Mr. Ford succeed. He controls so many sources of raw material and specializes in low-priced...
...American public formed its impression of college life solely by reading the comic strips and the average humorous magazine, it might have good reason to believe that our universities are places where half-baked young men in alcoholic stupors congregate to indulge in petty vices. But fortunately, most sane individuals are capable of discounting such pictures of the college student, and see in these caricatures nothing more than a grotesque and rather obvious attempt at humor. This is, however, a more sinister type of publicity concerning the undergraduate which is designed to catch the eyes of scandal-loving readers...
