...Athens, Ga. (pop. 18,192) there are two cinema houses, both under the same management. The Strand charges 25? admission. The Palace, more popular, scales its price from 25? to 40?, depending on the day of the week. To University of Georgia's 2,700 students that jack-up in the Palace price on busy nights is a major grievance. Around dinner tables one evening last fortnight passed word to meet at the theatre.

His hands full with his own and the nation's business, he nevertheless kept an "inside story" diary of the War years, the third volume of which appeared this autumn. Intimate as this book is, many passages were omitted by Lord Riddell as "unsuitable...
...family, he is endowed with a touch of the spurious and theatrical. He postures, tears his hair, wriggles, shouts, jumps, and with a gesture or a lift of the voice delineates such spectacles as a herd of camels, Rev. Mr. Davidson in Rain, Judas strangling himself (with a strand of Magdalen's hair), a door bell going Ting-a-ling-a-ling, an old family servitor, a Southern belle you-alling in crinolines...
