...return of the War play. Next week TIME will be occupied with discussions of Nerves by John Farrar and Stephen Vincent Benét and of Glory by Laurence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson. Hard on their heels will come Havoc, fresh from a London success, and The Conquering Hero, by Allan Monkhouse, an Englishman, under the beneficent auspices of the Theatre Guild. At least two others are now in preparation. The swagger and tinsel of war in the theatre of eight years ago has been discarded.

Early Saturday morning a youth entered the H. A. A. office, saying that he happened to be passing through Boston that day and would like to enter in every event of the meet...
With their two sons, Herbert and Allan, the Hoovers lived for several years in England. Their house in Kensington was a rendezvous for interesting Americans. She was active in Belgian relief work, was President of the Girl Scouts in 1923, and is vitally interested in all educational enterprises. More talkative than her husband, she once said: "If you want to get the gloomiest view of any subject on earth, ask Bert about...
