Last week the Club-Fellow & Washington Mirror, gossip monthly, reappeared on newsstands for the first time in two months. It had been sold by its founder-owner, Percival L. Harden, to Windsor Publishing Corp., owners of The Tatler & American Sketch, another gossip monthly, after two years, during which Mr. Harden was obliged by poor health to lease his property to an operating company (TIME. April 21). For 30 years prior to that. Publisher Harden had profited from chitchatting Club-Fellow...

...such an apparently unimportant factor as the shape of a false beard may indicate the character of its wearer. In Koi-No- Yozakura (Romance in Cherry Blossom Lane) a sculptor creates the image of a dancing girl which comes to life and dances with him when he places a mirror, the Japanese symbol of a woman's soul, next to her heart. The speech is naturally modulated, emotions are patent on the faces, the scenery is as realistic as a vaudeville backdrop. In Kage-No-Chikara (The Shadow Man) a provincial lord steals the fiancee and murders the father...
