...helplessly paralyzed at that particular moment. The accompanying picture shows him writing a Kakemono, meaning hanging-word-picture, painting a word "self" in a large letter on likely a sheet of silk. (Probably next word was "ashamed.") This is to be made up in frame and hang on a wall in a certain corner of a supposed-to-be most sacred room in a house. And in this Kakemono painting only a few words suffices to express one's feelings, thus in such a large letter, and sometime in "all fours" to make his one arm movement as free...
...overboiled coffee and Japanese prints, and almost succeeds in making the picture a bore. That it attains mediocrity instead of flat failure is due to the rest of the cast, notably William Boyd (not the William Boyd) who makes perhaps the smoothest gangster seen in these parts since the Wall Street Explosion.

Because of such projects real estate values in Manhattan fluctuate violently. Mr. Adler's block is now valued at $10,000,000 or over $300 per sq. ft.

No 1 Broadway is worth $200 per sq. ft., Broadway at 42nd $400, 42nd and Fifth Ave. $500. The land where the Chrysler Building stands is set at $250, while across Lexington Ave. the Hotel Commodore's real estate is estimated to be worth...

Typical shot: Gilbert jumping up against a garden wall in the moonlight to caress the hand of the heroine...
...improved mightily since it raced against Harvard two weeks ago, showed so much power in their final half-mile that it is not inconceivable that they might have beaten Navy, had they kept to their course. After passing the Harvard bridge, the Tech shell headed in for the wall, possibly in order to obtain better water, and came the last third of the course near the Esplanade wall. By this maneuver they apparently lost distance, although they were so far in, and Navy was so far out on the surface of the Basin, that it was hard to judge...
