Y.* Built on his father's estate, the theatre is architecturally arresting, mechanically capable of showing both vaudeville and cinema to an audience of 66. The vaudeville includes magic ("Professor Alonzo, Swindler") and skits ("The Man Who Was Legally Right''). The performers are young friends of Son Collier; they give fictitious names in the programs.

Each pupil will still study ten or more subjects every year, in the famed Spence tradition of "varied curriculum...
Until the recent National High School Basket Ball Tournament at Chicago, I would have answered both of the above in the positive. But now I am inclined to believe negatively-How on earth could the conductor of your Sport Column overlook the wonderful victory won by the "Tomcats" of Ashland, Kentucky? How does their "clean play" record of going through the entire tournament without a single personal foul compare in "reader interest" with your recent story (under "Records") about the fat man from Hamburg who swam the sea lion to sleep...
