Three models have been produced to date: a four-room, red brick Georgian house with green slate roof and green shutters; a white stucco town house with a blue door arched with brick; a pink brick house with a shop on the ground floor, an apartment above. Each house is about two feet square, wired for electricity with a tiny fixture in the ceiling of each room. Encouraged by the success of these, Delano & Aldrich talents were bent last week on two new models: a larger business block with a restaurant and grocery on the ground floor, and an even...
...candidates had more than doubled their strength in the City Council, that parties favorable to Tsar Boris had lost more than half their seats. What to do? What would Queen Elena say in Rome?

...leased to a speakeasy. Realtors fear the proposed trans-Bay bridges may increase commuting. Dwellings are 32% vacant in San Francisco.

Since the atmosphere is melodrama and the theme is medicine, where else can such icy voiced and tendril fingered experts exist as those of Austria; so Bathelmess becomes Muller, and Richard, Karl. And thus before a background of beer steins, rambling stucco farmhouses, operating rooms and music boxes, Karl Muller develops as the boy who loves the soil but is forced to become a surgeon. Complication after complication is thrown in to keep awake a sleepy audience, but the chief attraction is better than average photography, which takes advantage of every opportunity...
