...year to see ten Sunday evening performances, cinemas of esthetic merit which, because of censors or lack of popular appeal, are not exhibited in commercial cinemansions. Sponsors include George Gershwin, Eva Le Gallienne, Leopold Stokowski, John Dos Passos, Sherwood Anderson, Norman Bel Geddes, Nelson Rockefeller. Organized not for profit but for "the study, research and development of film art." the Society initiated a trend which is the cinema equivalent of the Little Theatre movement. Already it has a lusty rival: the Film Forum, headed by Playwright Sidney Howard, which last fortnight gave as its first presentation the German picture...
...sure, however, that I wholly favor the plan suggested in question eleven as an alternative to the present plan. There are students above the class of the border-line student who do profit by tutorial work and who engage in it with gratifying enthusiasm.

In such pits as "The Sag" in Chicago, disreputable cockers hold ill-conducted contests between second-rate birds. A larger class of cockers are poultry breeders, farmers, country folk who raise gamefowl for profit, pit them at well-advertised meets such as the Orlando tournament in Florida. The third class of cockers are wealthy individuals like the members of the Heel Tap Club, who breed and fight gamecocks for the amusement of making huge sidebets. Lest their names become known, such breeders almost never...
...great need for trained intellects through well organized curricula and efficient and far sighted administrations, but without healthy bodies as complements to the human picture--then, all education is futile. These United States succeeded only too well during the rouge era to spread the gospel of profit for the institution at the expense and neglect of 90 per cent of the individuals who make up the institution...
