...this Miss Dean whips into fresh and agile entertainment. There are not many actresses equipped for such a task. Forbidden Paradise. Pola Negri and Ernst Lubitsch, playing again on the same team that made Passion, are inevitably excellent. They chose a play called The Czarina in which Doris Keane starred not so long ago.

Later the more sober dailies investigated, definitely established that Mr. Jones, a onetime British subject, had described himself...
...whether or not Boston lives up to its far-flung reputation as a patron of the arts?" said Walter Hampden, producer and star of "Cyrano de Bergerac", which is now playing at the Opera House, to a CRIMSON reporter Saturday. "Well, sir, Boston wins no prizes as a drama-loving city...
