...about the barren Ireland of John Millington Synge, not about the bloody and turbulent Ireland of "The Plough and the stars," but about an Ireland where the vulgarity of life is occasionally transcended by the mystery of the days when giants walked the land is Paul Vincent Carroll's "Shadow and Substance." This play, winner of the drama critics' award last year, opened in Boston last night with the original New York cast, starring Cedric Hardwicke...
...oldtime Portlanders were not convinced this was the final word on the future of their most famous newspaper. When Henry Pittock's 470 shares of stock are distributed among five heirs next year, almost anything can happen. And back of this uncertain prospect loomed the tenacious shadow of the other giant who built the Oregonian-its famed, longtime (1865-1910) editor, Harvey Whitefield Scott, who died convinced that Henry Pittock had double-crossed...
...theorem that "the camera cannot lie" is one banality which no self-respect-ing photographer ever repeats.

But signs of increasing revenue-like hopes for lower wage costs (see above)-are only details in the sorry railroad picture; last week bonded indebtedness still cast its shadow. Prime example of a railroad staggering under top-heavy debts is 111-year-old Baltimore & Ohio, fifth largest U. S. railroad (in revenue). The line has some $685,000,000 in fixed indebtedness, on which it has had to pay over $31,000,000 in interest annually. B. & O. lost...
