Taylor Holmes, as Bunker himself, is supposedly the bearer of the stellar part. While not detracting from his marked ability, yet advertising Mr. Holmes as the single star is a deception--everyone in the cast is entitled to such distinction. Seldom has Boston seen a more charming ingenue than Florence Shirley, as the Flapper. She appeals without being saccharine, and is so attractively vivacious that it is no small wonder the movie magnates have not attempted to rob the "legitimate" of another "queen." And so on right down the program, Charles Abbs as Pops, Lillian Lawrence as Grandma, the demon...
...Guards are always a hard problem because the playing of the position is seldom spectacular. It would be almost as logical to put Black and Snow there as Nourse and Hogg; but the Princeton men have worked with Gennert for two years. Black would be a wonderful leader for the team, but his actual playing in the Harvard-Yale game was below big-team calibre. Fox, for a man of but one season's experience, comes close to being picked. Captain Dadmun, of Harvard, has not shown much all season...

...saying something because he cannot hold it back--because he has something to say. And at the end of his bold plea for individuality and self-reliance there comes to the reader a sense of satisfaction--dispersal of a doubt, vindication of faith, or what you will--that is seldom found in modern poetry of any sort. But Mr. Murray is the least skilled of the Monthly's versifiers. Only the persistent reader succeeds in ploughing through the obscuitities of his first sonnet; and even he cannot help feeling at the end that the whole business would better have been...
