...stencil "Carry on" to Actress Ralston after her attempted jump. Like many contemporary film people, Esther Ralston took her first part as a stage baby. She and her parents, May Howard and Henry Walter Ralston, were routed over vaudeville circuits as "The Ralston Family, Metropolitan Entertainers." She went to school in Washington and New York, was tutored during the busy seasons. When she first got in pictures she was a free lance, that is, she made pictures without a permanent contract, hired sometimes by the week and sometimes under a blanket salary for a piece of work in a film...

A heavy scarlet robe covered his gnomelike figure. An ermine collar, seeming...
King Vittorio Emanuele III and New York State went to law last month (TIME, June 17). A piffling $900, and a far-reaching principle, were at stake. The principle which Italy hoped to write down in international law was that the estate of any person who has been a resident but not a citizen of a foreign state, and who dies intestate, shall be administered by his own, rather than his adopted country...
