...appear at Court in court dress were General Dawes and Comrade Grigorie Sokolnikov. Together they represented almost one-fifth of the earth's territory and almost one seventh of the globe's population. The General was in ordinary, long trousered U. S. evening dress. The Comrade, a shade more conventional, wore regulation British Court knee breeches, but above, instead of a standard ambassador's tight, gold laced jacket, he wore a coat and vest similar to General Dawes...
...were modish, social and enthusiastic; the pictures were mostly recognizable subjects pleasantly painted. A careful jury did not favor either of the two exhibited nudes, nor the several strange modernisms. Clarence H. Carter took a first in the landscape class with Lake Erie Patterns, a conservative work pleasantly demonstrating shade-and-shadow effects on a greensward.

Unfortunately there is no method of accurately computing the extent of this feeling, so precedent, is still the only criterion that can be used as a basis for judgment...
...might better have been deliberately and devilishly unreal. The case of Madeleine Smith, if it could be faithfully transferred to the stage, might provide an exciting study in various violent phases of psychology. But it suggests to the imagination a stained and elegant fiction about a creature of the shade, sinuous and fascinating. Katharine Cornell conveys enough of this quality to indicate what might have been possible. Her high cheek bones are blanched, yellowish, sickly, as she reminds her boyish suitor that she lay with the dancer before killing him. When she tears the telephone from the hands...
