...Awful Truth (Pathe). The efforts of young couples recently married to make adjustments requisite to their new mode of living have furnished material for numerous theatrical pieces, few of them more lighthearted than this play of Arthur Richman's. It was a play well fitted to be made into a picture because it moves fast, avoids dexterously all the deeper implications of its situations. Even the judge and family friend who early in the proceedings grants the Warriners an interlocutory decree of divorce is clearly in collusion with the author in his determination to bring things out happily.

...warship jaunts to the U. S. and his Dominions, ended at Friedrichshafen last week, when the Graf Zeppelin snuggled into her home schuppen (hangar).

Freshman Deans, Advisers. Proctors and Supervisors are on hand for anyone to consult who wants...
Closely connected with his repellent reserve was the stern independence of his mode of life. In his scheme, little things were kept small and great things large. What was the true reading in a passage of Aristophanes, what the usage of a certain word in Byzantine Greek,--these were matters on which a man might well reflect and labor. But of what consequence was it if the breakfast was slight or the coat worn...
