Prof. Rogers may have acquired his social doctrine at Harvard, whence he was graduated in 1909. He was an early student in the Harvard Theatrical Workshop of Prof. George Pierce Baker, now Dean of the Yale Drama School. Since 1913 he has taught American, English and European Literature and Drama...
...Hooker entrusted last week's performance and his secrets to John Mullholland of Manhattan, brilliant sleight-of-handman, lecturer, student of world-wide magical history. Magician Mullholland was invisibly assisted by Dr. Shirley L. Quimby, apparatus expert, professor of physics at Columbia University.
