...engaged the gears. "No?my reason is that nothing must interrupt the ordered rhythm of Fascist work. There are enough holidays on our Italian calendar already ?in fact too many!" and letting in his clutch the Dictator vanished, inconsistently, for a birthday holiday. Speeding to the seacoast he boarded a waiting seaplane, was soon soaring around the toe and heel of Italy, headed at last up the Adriatic in a flight of over 1200 miles...
...each presenting a one-act play. One group from Denver gave a horrific vignette by Eugene O'Neill in which a white couple and a Negro are shown adrift on a raft in tropic seas. Another Denver company chose for its dramatic locale a rainswept bit of Maine seacoast where the incessant downpour drove a bedraggled housewife insane, sent her out to follow the fancied ghost of a long-dead lover. Actors from Dayton, Ohio, were concerned with Zanzibar. Three Manhattan companies dealt, respectively, with Japan, Petrograd, the Crystal Caverns...
Last week in Hoboken, N. J., their ''last seacoast of Bohemia," Christopher Morley, Cleon Throckmorton, Conrad Milliken and Harry Wagstarf Gribble revived The Black Crook.

There remained but two records to pass, that for sustained flight (lighter-than-air machines), and the distance record...
...flagship of the Lithuanian Navy is a chugging, wallowing armed minesweeper, the President Smetona. Last week Lithuanians were shamefaced and vexed when a pirate ship, the Hassan Birr, which has been terrorizing Baltic seacoast villages for over a month, escaped for the eleventh time, after being sighted, fired at and chased by the wallowing President Smetona. Fisherfolk who have been piratically molested by the Hassan Birr describe her crew as a rollicking, unblood-thirsty gang of Finns, Poles, Germans, Swedes led by a fierce red-bearded swashbuckler who claims to be a Lithuanian...
