Sancho Panza. Otis Skinner has turned up in virtually a new type of theatrical entertainment. It is partially spectacle, partially satire, partially a political essay. All of it is seasoned by a liberal supply of slapstick and it adds up to substantial entertainment. The story reveals the Squire of Don Quixote in process of ruling the fanciful city of Barataria. Thus are the satire and the politics neatly wrapped and delivered. The slapstick falls chiefly to the lot of one Robert Rossire, who muffles his true being in the folds and fur of Dapple, Sancho's mule. While Mr. Skinner...
...should receive any and all imigrants with open arms, there runs a parallel theory that America is a "melting pot"--a kind of cauldron into which the most fundamentally different races may be poured, stirred together, and turned out American citizens. If there is to be a recognized, American type, then the various races must give and take within the pot and emerge much alike.

The first theory is known as the spiritualistic, the second as the telepathic...
...three year report (1920-23) of the organization shows the type of aid given. More than 22,000,000 meals were served, 400,000 articles of clothing and 70,000 books were distributed; and 430 tons of fuel were furnished. The type of work done and the scope of the field is steadily widening. The European Student Relief organization in its report tells what $5 will do abroad. This sum will purchase in many parts of Europe daily food for 100 students or two pairs of shoes or a suit of clothes: it will pay a professor's salary...
