...annual production of Princeton University's Triangle Club-most ambitious of U. S. college musicomedies-is annually hailed by the current undergraduates as -much better than last year's show.-This year's Triangle show is called The Tiger Smiles. Its excellence easily equals anything the club has done since it was founded 42 years ago. The plot is to portray and satirize Princeton in the 1890's and 1990's. More time and attention are devoted to the earlier years, a happy choice. Most impressive factor in the opening scenes is the costuming. There...
...handsome Bruce Pelham (James Stewart). The plot then skips 100 years by the simple method of having Mr. Logan fall off a building and lapse into a coma. Best feature of the futuristic sequences is a ballet mecanique, led by blond and birdlike Mr. Dunham. Premiere of The Tiger Smiles was held in Princeton at the handsome new McCarter Theatre. Not since the old casino burned has Princeton had a Triangle first night. Cantankerous graduates may not think the show so funny as Espanola (1922), so tuneful as Drake's Drum (1924), so beautiful as Samarkand...
What the Yale News says concerning the old "Big Three" is true. Its application to Princeton is that, for one thing, inter-sectional games should have no place on the Tiger's schedule.

We lament its return as a mark of regress, and predict that in the far distant, but far saner future only natural rivals will do battle...
...last week the son of one of the accused passionately denounced his father as a traitor to the proletariat. During the Schakhta proceedings several of the accused pleaded "not guilty," defended themselves wildly, vainly in a dramatic radio dialog with Prosecutor Krylenko, who beat down their defense as a tiger claws to bits a bleating sheep. Last week however all the star prisoners-six of the eight accused-expressed a desire to plead guilty, entered the courtroom with bulky, manuscript confessions which they proceeded to read in turn...
...vitality and good looks. She was a headliner on the Keith Circuit when she was five, nearly 40 years ago. She went to high school for two years between road-shows. Since the days of her thrillers (Ruth of the Rockies, The Timber Queen, Ruth of the Range, The Tiger's Trail), one of which she wrote and directed herself (The Adventures of Ruth), she has been out of pictures. She built up a real estate business in Los Angeles and made several million dollars, one million of which?as a grand gesture rare in life but common...
