Back at the White House President Hoover found much to do. His secretary, George Akerson, was called in from the golf links, instructed to keep the executive offices open as an information bureau. He despatched his military aide, Col. Campbell Benjamin Hodges to the Wyoming Avenue house to render any service possible. He canceled a dinner engagement he had for that evening with the White House Correspondents Association. Acting Secretary of State Wilbur J. Carr prepared a public proclamation which the President signed...
...spite of Mr. Leiber's fresh and unconventional interpretation of the part of Shylock the rest of the cast did not render sufficient support to keep this production from becoming mediocre. The sets were by far the worst that have been' shown thus far. Bassanio, played by Hart Jenks gave the most satisfactory characterization excepting that of Mr. Leiber. Vera Allen did fairly well as Portia although she gave the "Quality of Mercy" in an attitude which suggested that she was trying to count the seats in the extreme rear of the balcony. Although the role of the Merchant...
...John Barrymore is equally unimpressive. All the laurels for individual presentations go quite unchallenged to O. P. Heggie who gives a thoroughly convincing and extremely clever portrayal of Louis XI, never once exceeding the bounds of his role, playing his part with a moderation and yet sufficient variety to render it altogether charming and adequate.

...thoroughly inadequate. For 25 miles around Manhattan, all the land is very nearly at sea level. To the east are the sand dunes of Long Island, to the west, the tidal mud marshes of New Jersey. Her airports are too far away, are all subject to fogs which render navigation impossible. (The seaplane base in New York harbor, while decreasing the distance to the centre of the city, will still be affected by fogs.) Because of fogs, U. S. airmail removed its original terminal from Curtiss Field, L. I., to Hadley Field, New Brunswick, N. J., a distance twice...
Strietly speaking, Phrohibition is not a college issue. When the Harvard CRIMSON asks "What can college men do about Prohibition?" the obvious answer is "very little." The national aspects of the question are so large as to render ineffectual the small, shrill voice of the colleges. College debates, discussions, and petitions calling for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendmen' while they may be interesting, carry little weight. They indicate, however, that the educated youth of the country has an intelligent interest in the question. Harvard's movement in encourage such interest is therefore commendable...
