...lips to receive a kiss. . . . Some hours later Sergei Slovochotov gave himself up to the police. Before that he had sat through a cinema show. Before that he had gulped down two bottles of beer.

What with some frenzied mob scenes, some beauteous scenery, some warm gypsy love by Mr. Colman, a near-burning at the stake, a window-jumping by the heroine, The Night of Love is a seeable picture...
...kind of Chinaman shivered at Peking last week as thermometers read 10° below zero; but 1,200 miles southward, in Canton, quite another sort of Chinaman was as warm as a Miami mermaid. The two kinds of Chinamen could by no possibility have understood each other in Chinese, so different are their dialects. But the Yang-kuei tze ("Foreign Devil") has taught a few Chinese of every region English, especially the word "Nationalism...
