...high to permit managers making money. Other names which count for less in dollars and cents are the Singers Frieda Hempel, Anna Case, Sophie Braslau, Louise Homer, Dusolina Giannini, Mabel Garrison, Reinald Werrenrath, Louis Graveure, Pianist Josef Lhevinne, Violinist Mischa Elman. Violinist Jascha Heifetz had also started to slip. The public found him cold, expressionless. But since his marriage to Cinemactress Florence Vidor his concert manner has warmed, his box-office value increased. Conversely, names which will be worth more next year are Negro Baritone Paul Robeson (TIME, Nov. 18) and Pianist Jose Iturbi (TIME, Dec. 30), the outstanding successes...

They told the police that a deep cut in his cheek was a slip-of-the-razor, not caused by her hurling a glass powder-box at him. Calming down, they decided to separate for one year...
...effect of establishing a standard of satisfaction which is likely to prove the limit of the average athlete's ambition, what effect would the abolition of probation have? In the absence of any other check there is every reason to suppose that the same athlete would allow himself to slip even lower than the standard established by probation. If it were proposed to dismiss him, still there must be some criterion on which to judge and he must in all fairness be warned. Probation requirements, subject to the elastic judgment of the authorities, supply the criterion and probation itself constitutes...
