...Confucius' "Sacred Mountain," Taishan. What made Shantung's war authentic and hair-raising last week was the fact-that China's two best & boldest younger War Lords were pitching into each other with such fury that they were actually paying their troops. In China, where thousands of unpaid soldiers wander around with oilpaper umbrellas (their only tents), stealing handfuls of rice and waiting for their officers to be bribed, such energy as the two armies displayed by fighting each other in earnest is as rare as a Chinese epicure's 200-year-old egg. The two battling War Lords...
...another with a line beginning "And soon a baby face. . . ." Like most Fred Stone shows it has few sexy jokes and those it has deal exclusively with the intermediate sex. Sample: "Since this is A Midsummer Night's Dream, you don't mind if I wander around among the fairies?" "That's up to you-lead your own life." He also has one or two opportunities to dance. Dorothy Stone and Doris Patston dance too. So do Messrs. Royston and Collins. All dance well, individually, in pairs and in threesomes. The chorus directed by Merriel Abbott dances...
...Dana, a gay young blade, suddenly retired to "Glenwood," his family's 90- year-old plantation home, a quarter mile from "Glenburney." Miss Dockery, unable to make a living by writing verse, moved in as his housekeeper, raised chickens, milked cows. Dana was mentally unbalanced.

...members of the Class of 1907 who have registered at reunion headquarters, and to their families, those who remain in Cambridge extend a cordial welcome. For the next three days they wander about a Cambridge which bears little resemblance to the town of their undergraduate days,--a scene where masses of brick buildings, a faculty club, a geography building, a biological institute, a chapel, a vast library hedged by the latest Freshman dormitories; a business school; and seven Houses, three new and four revamped, have risen at a rate which has amazed even the steady inhabitants of the town...
...movements are greatly exaggerated. In reaching for an object, the arm will wander aimlessly. The hand, attempting to grasp something, may remain fixed in that position, and is relaxed with difficulty. In the early years the patient may learn to walk after a fashion, and the gait is quite characteristic. The toes scrape along the floor, the heels are not brought down, and the spasm of the thigh muscles forces the individual to move in a cross-legged fashion. Speech is difficult, and not infrequently profuse salivation with drooling tends to reflect against the normal mentality of the patient...
