...with a miniature ballet dance, furnished by two forks, each shod with a roll. But it would be very difficult not to laugh at Charles Chaplin when he finds that the wire is broken which was to have preserved his equilibrium on the high, dangerous tightrope; and when, to add to this horrible predicament, three vicious monkeys run after him and tear his clothes off. These are not, moreover, the only truly comic moments in The Circus. Scarcely any period of 30 seconds passes without supplying new and highly legitimate grounds for laughter...

To add "in order fully to protect the rights of the undergraduate body" fails to invalidate any of the objections offered by the CRIMSON on December 8.

No question of profiteering would enter because the orders would be on such a small scale, "and, in fact, we could watch the profit very easily."

Now she has $8000 a week, a police-dog, a canary, a gluttonous appetite for licorice candy, and a reputation for frail, goldenhaired beauty that has suggested, in a recent popular song, this recipe for exceptional loveliness: "Put Cleopatra into a dish, add a dash of Lillian Gish...
...Hero for a Night. This is one more airy and erratic farce which tries not very successfully to add to current aeronautical excitement. The plot concerns an easygoing taxicab driver and a thieving millionaire who head their plane for the Manhattan Stock Exchange and arrive, with surprising ease, in Russia. This funny & heroic feat enables the taxicab driver to marry the millionaire's daughter...
