...games have been more exciting to watch--few opponents more dangerous. A lot is said about victories and morale, usually with the tongue in the cheek. But at the end of the third quarter in Saturday's game Harvard had little but morale left. Those who raw are bound to agree with Jack Hardwick that ties are not accidents, especially when they occur in the last few minutes of play, as Princeton and Penn State have each borne witness twice. It is just a matter of "homely guts", and if Harvard ever showed "guts" she showed them on Saturday with...
...colleges and universities. Under the present immigration law, the annual quota of each foreign country must not exceed 3 per cent of the total number of its nationals which the last census gives as residents of the United States. In the long run, the enforcement of this rule is bound to keep out of the United States some of the prospective students who, by all accounts, are coming to the United States in steadily increasing numbers to study in our educational institutions. Provided the Washington authorities are given satisfactory evidence in each instance that the applicant is a bona fide...
Without stopping for figures, consider the result. French books, which have heretofore sold at the Paris price plus a small amount for postage, are now taxed an additional twenty percent. Leather-bound books, in the vague language of the bill, "if the binding is the chief part of their value," are dutiable at 33 1-3 percent; until a few years ago, let us remember, books not bound in leather were rarely printed in England. But the absurdity reaches the height in the last provision, which requires an American valuation. Who is to make the appraisal? Not an experienced book...
...slip from the chief actor to the subordinates without a sickening sense of unintended comic relief, even without any unpleasant realization that they are subordinates. To Horatio, always a sympathetic part, Mr. Lewis brings a personality and a voice that suggest more than a little of the charm which bound Hamlet to him. So small a part as the First Player was made memorable by Mr. Collamores delivery of Aeneas' tale to Dido, and his ability subtly to distinguish the interwoven parts he played. As for Polonius, though his part was considerably shortened it still gave Mr. Peters opportunity...
...therefore, the Piece seemed unreal and consequently unsatisfactory, the fault lies with those old masters, Racine and Corneille, who so effectively bound the drama of their native land to the chariot-wheels of Convention. Indeed, most of the contemporary French work which filters through to this country shows that lack of spontaneity which results from adapting life to the stage and not the stage to life. Nor are Kistmaecker and the adaptor--Paul Kester--any exceptions to the rule: for while the dialogue is occasionally interesting, the plot is hopelessly stereotyped. Thus such lines as, "Pan--that gay little goatlegged...
