...having seen the worst half of "His People" first, and the first part last, we found it a tolerably dull production. From advance notices, we know that others in better authority caught the thrill of this little Jewish household and admired the skill of Rudolph Schildekraut in the leading part. Mr. Schildekraut's work was always effective, but the direction is not equal to the task of stressing one character. We are thinking now of "The Last Laugh" in which everything was subordinated to the person of Emile Jannings in the guise of an old wash-room attendant. Director Murnan...

...rivals that of Leonardo, Leone Battista Alberti, is to be the subject of Professor Edgell's lecture at noon today in Robinson Hall to his students and vagabonds in Fine Arts 7a.

...telephone tinkles and callers poured into the home of Dr. Samuel Hybbinette of Stockholm last week. It was the Doctor's 50th birthday. The thousands congratulating him were chiefly medical colleagues and onetime patients, whose fondness and admiration were not occasioned by Dr. Hybbinette's superlative surgical skill and his magnetic personality alone. Nor had he performed some new miracle with his keen scalpel. But one and all praised him for a habit that he has, a talented habit uncommon among surgeons. Dr. Hybbinette has a rich tenor voice. He has won many a prize by exercising...
