Tsar to Lenin (Max Eastman-Herman Axelbank). An amateur photographer, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia amused him self one summer afternoon in 1913 by snapping his guests and letting them snap him in and about his swimming pool at Livadia. Intended for the royal album, these naive shots turned up last week un der very different surroundings - the screen of New York's Filmarte Theatre, as part of a seven-reel documentary film tracing Russia's history through the War and the 1917 Revolution. Assembled on the general lines of Laurence Stallings' The First World...
...kind in northern Ohio. Seismologists declare that the recovery from glacial compression is not yet complete, expect it to continue but never to attain destructive violence. Father Joseph Lynch, S.

...pictures without credit as though taken by Examiner men.

Dr. Krick bobbed up with a pat explanation for these phenomena. This 31-year-old meteorologist, who was a stockbroker's assistant and once a piano accompanist, predicted last September that Southern California was in for a cold, wet winter. He believes that, although the boundaries...
With an enrollment twice that of last year Professor Davidson's course is popular. His understanding of the right approach to the study of music has converted a former "snap" into a reasonably difficult subject. Seeing its merit proved, men interested in the esthetic side of music and would-be Freshman concentrators will be attracted next fall but repulsed at once because of the cut. One Professor and assistant to handle 125 men, let alone the present number of 300 is a task impossible to accomplish if any teaching standard is to be kept. Aside from Music 1, there...
