...Experimental Theatre of Boston faces the problem of the theatre in-time everywhere in the United States. It must steer a safe course between the clashing rocks of the stock farce and melodrama and the self-conscious radicalism that leaves its seats all empty. When Winthrop Ames took Arthur Schwitzler's "Anatol" over the censorship hurdles same years ago, he beat the Foley of that day by enough so that you needn't go to settle that question. One regrets that the Experimental Theatre throws away a chance to make an honest experiment. Go, if you like...
...that the letter-men have been determined and insignia awarded, marking the virtual close of the football season, athletics have again been forcibly subordinated in the daily papers to the more important topics of current events. Once more Mr. Hoover and the stock market have received due prominence on the front page; and the gestures of the Fascistic are no longer overshadowed by startling gridiron predictions.

It was in railroad stocks, however, that he made his first market profits. Back in 1904 he bought some 1,500 shares of Soo Line stock at from 54 to 60, sold at 160, made what he would now consider the trifling profit of $150,000. Since beginning his eastern operations, U. S. Steel, International Harvester...
