...Coach Jack Slattery laid stress on the importance of training, saying, "ability is first, but the man who has that without training is useless." He promised that every candidates would be given a fair try, and that his ability would not be overlooked...
...missionary is man ever vile. Melville, perhaps, discovered to literature a whole new demesne for the imagination to conjure with. Charles. Warren Stoddard bore his testimony to the passing of a Polynesian paradise; Robert Louis Stevenson died "under the wide and starry sky" where he passed his latter days; Jack London, Safroni Middleton, Rupert Brooke, paid tribute each in his own specie; Paul Gauguin painting and drinking absinthe to the end, seeking relief from constant paint in drugs, limned the pagan folk of "Bloody Hiva-oa" for all the world, and lies now in an unknown grave overlooking...

Mr. Rutherford, as Jack Garrison, fulfills his claim as a "red-blooded man." John Cherry redeems his initial appearance when he impersonates a "wild man." "Those three and four more" put him in a condition which at all times amused the audience. Charles Meakins, whose portly but sprightly figure has brought out laughs in "Miss Springtime" and "See-Saw," is his usual smiling self in "June Love...
