...born an actor. Most of M. Gemier's successes have been scored in the Théātre de l'Odéon, Frances second national theatre, although, from an artistic viewpoint, it might well deserve to be ranked first. In 1921 M. Gemier arrived at the summit of his ambition when he was appointed Manager of the Odéon, the theatre where he has created some 30 roles, many of which were in the plays of Moliere and Shakespeare...
...called back, having suffered the heavy loss (TIME, June 30) of two of its valiant members. Col. Norton wired London that no more attempts would be made by the present expedition. The climbers were exhausted. But he thinks it possible that the vanished Mallory and Irvine did reach the summit. "Perhaps, after they were enwrapped by a cloud, never to be seen again, they attained their great goal and then, on the way down, sought refuge in some recess, where they died painlessly of cold."

Mr. Gaar had been secretary to her husband until the latter had mysteriously ad mitted him to partnership; and upon Mr. Almy's death Mr. Gaar, whilom Danish immigrant, had automatically become the head...
...only two occasions has a player reached the summit of golfdom in successive years. William Anderson won the title three times straight, 1903, 1904, and 1905, and J. J. McDermott pulled through a victor in 1911 and 1912. Invariably, with these two exceptions, the defending champion has fallen by the wayside...
