...Sheridan, who has read the book, finds it a display of sentimentality, abounding in super-adjectives, containing many plagiarisms, "the outpourings of a gushing school girl." She regrets that Marie did not write of some lovely Rumanian legend, that her Russian blood did not endow her with "some talent, mysticism and taste," that the English blood did not "add a sense of humor to her complex composition." Finally she is left pondering what on earth the book is about. Says Mrs. Sheridan: "A strange young woman named Glava rides a carrot-colored horse whose tail sweeps the ground.... She does...

There are tuneful revivals by Irving Fisher of Victor Herbert hits, including the quaint march of the soldiers from Babes in Toyland, and novelties such as the Tiller Girls dancing skilfully in prosphorescent lights as they skip rope?while one makes private bets as to whether the ropes will snarl up.

Decorated interiors, varying in merit, may be observed in six rooms, one of 1750 with Reynolds and Gainsborough portraits, a Handel duet on the table; one of 1815 designed to reproduce the character of a sitting- room of the Becky Sharp-Waterloo period...
Despite the protests of the U. S. A. Labor Party, Laborites have consistently attended the political meetings of the Premier, General Right Honorable Jan Christian Smuts, to display every kind of hooliganism. In Durban, 5,000 people foregathered in the Town Hall, most of whom were determined to prevent him from speaking. When the Premier appeared rowdyism was let loose and after facing the multitude for ten minutes in a vain effort to start his speech, he was forced to leave...
