...Roberti herself. Tamara, in the role of Stephanie, the successor to Madame Roberta as the guiding light of the dressmaking business and the eventual heroine of the piece, is intriguingly pleasant. Our hero, an All-American fullback who becomes involved in dress-making is hardly more than an unavoidable cog in the necessary story, which is itself of very minor importance, since the story, too, is mainly important in forming a frame for the wholly enjoyable Kern melodies. But the story is inconspicuously pleasant as a setting for the music, and the general result, we repeat, is fine...
...spite of the high standard of living and undeniably high costs of the process inaugurated by the House Plan, one vital cog in the works has never functioned with perfect precision. The weighty problem of meals has not been satisfactorily solved by the introduction of model kitchens and natty dining halls, and in spite of a dietician the three squares are generally of an order which would do credit to the lower carnivora.

Henry, of course, believes that years from now, when the President's fair weather friends have left him, when the storms of capitalist opposition howl...
...Bulldog has been but little successful in its games so far this season, falling before the hoopsters of Providence College by a narrow 35-32 margin, and losing to Fordham, 35-29. The Elis will miss the leadership of their captain, Bob O'Connell, who is the main cog in the Blue machine, but the remainder of the team is of sufficiently high calibre to be favored in tonight's contest...
