...Jerusalem Health Centre) totaled less than the $5,000,000 which the late Julius Rosenwald gave for Jewish colonization in Crimea. Nathan Straus Jr. did not take part in Zionist affairs until comparatively recently. Educated at Heidelberg and Princeton (as a graduate student under Woodrow Wilson), he became a cub reporter for the New York Globe, bought Puck in 1914, built its circulation from 18,000 to 105,000. The anti-Semitism which Life then featured he fought hotly. Publisher Straus was a pacifist, earned the thanks of President Wilson for an anti-War editorial. But he went...
Realism is the true reporter's touchstone.

One of Exhibitor Donald S. Crowe's bear cubs became ill from an ice cream cone, recovered. A stray...
...friendship progresses, that she is his illegitimate daughter. Daughter Constance Bennett plays the part of the model. She is rude to her old and platonic admirer. She prefers circulating in a socialite environment, notably at Newport where she is "untrue to herself" with the assistance of a cub socialite. Penitent, she breaks her engagement with him, promises to be true to a level-headed young writer, and recognizes, for no very good reason, the old cloak & suit buyer as her father. Well-mounted, directed and acted, Bought is acceptable though severely commonplace entertainment. Silly shot: a cross-section...
