...Bishop of Scranton had just warned his auditors against dangerous radicalism, adding: "Understand, however, a man may be a radical and do the right thing. Mussolini did a vast amount for the tranquility and prosperity of Italy." Then one of Cappellini's supporters moved that his leader be allowed to speak. Cheers burst from the delegates. Cappellini was given the floor and made his way to the platform amid an ovation...
Said Chauncey M. Depew: "I can't understand the psychology that makes Henry Ford a Presidential candidate. Take John D. Rockefeller, for instance. He has spent $500,000,000 for humanity, yet he couldn't be elected to any office.

The Vieux Colombie-a highly original repertory company of experimentalists in the new stagecraft-should furnish you with several delightful evenings, even if you understand as little French as most New York theatrical critics do Russian. The Guitrys whatever they are acting in, individually or collectively, are worth observation. The Pitoeff company playing at the Comedie Champs Elysees, in The Lower Depths, Androcles and the Lion and others, are almost always interesting...
