...that past, present and future are illusory, that the impression of fleeting moments, hours and years is not to be trusted. Suggested by Henry James's Sense of the Past, written by John L. Balderston, London correspondent of the New York World, it comes, like so many plays this season, from London. The story is of Peter Standish, young U. S. citizen living in his ancestral London townhouse, who likes the 20th Century so well that he suddenly finds himself back in it in the person of his great-great-grandfather.

Cortez. Lionel Atwill and William Faversham, both historic stage wooers, have already this season displayed their best cavalier postures in plays productive of little else (TIME, Oct. 21, Nov. 4). They are now followed by Lou Tellegen, an actor of bearing as lordly as befits a onetime leading man of Sarah Bernhardt and Eleanora Duse.

...capitol building, last work of the late great Architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, is surely a piece of the world's greatest modern architecture. 2) Its symphony orchestra exists unaided by great-hearted guarantors and, miraculously, without deficit. Last week the Lincoln players gave the first concert of their fourth season. Again Rudolph Seidl, onetime oboist in the Minneapolis Symphony, conducted his 40 colleagues, all of whom receive union wages. Again there will be given four Sunday afternoon concerts sponsored by the junior division of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce...
