...tragedies of the art of acting that when the last cur tain falls there is nothing to hold the expression of a great personality for future generations. Sarah Bern hardt is gone, and those who do not hold the impress of her dynamic genius on the tables of reminiscence can know her only as a cloudy legend, obscured by time and by the many puzzles presented by her career.

Mr. Murdock's short poem, although it has its "amethyst and pearl," its "gold and blue," is inspired by true feeling and possesses true significance. Perhaps the best thing in the number is Mr. Jacobs's war-sonnet...

At that time he was largely influential in bringing relief to the sufferers. After the war Lieutenant Gammon returned to America, where he has delivered many lectures in all parts of the country concerning his experiences in China. The views which will be shown tonight are from photographs taken by himself during his stay in the far east...
