Bessie married a chemist named Michael Berliney, but in professional connections preferred to be known as "Mrs. Pastor." The couple moved to Perth Amboy, N. J., where "Mike" had a laboratory. With skilled, indefatigable hands Mrs. Pastor kept house for her husband, spent her spare time in his workshop, composing synthetic waxes, lotions and soaps. Today she has taken out 18 patents, has sold some of them to cosmetic and soap makers. Not to be outdone, Mike has taken out 174 patents...
...past five years Taliesin has been a workshop, farm and studio for more than a score of apprentices who are interested in architecture as Frank Lloyd Wright understands it. During its first winter the Taliesin Fellowship spent most of its time cutting wood in two shifts to keep the fires going. Since then, its life has been less defensive. After nearly a decade, the master of Taliesin has again had work in hand. In California, Texas, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pennsylvania superb new buildings have grown from his plans. Last week the significance to modern architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright...

All his life he had been a feverish but carefully slow worker; his later years showed no letdown. Though...
When Professor George Pierce Baker left Harvard in 1925, taking with him to Yale the famous English 47, a course in playwriting, and his "47 Workshop," which produced many of the plays written in the course, Harvard reaffirmed its policy of only theoretical training for undergraduates. The loss of one of the greatest teachers of the drama was a high price to pay that the policy might be upheld, yet it was paid because Professor Baker's too-practical methods of training did not jibe with the theoretical approach of the University...
...Professor Baker's departure, the Harvard Dramatic Club, which had run concurrently with the "Workshop" from its inception in 1908, took up the practical aspect of Harvard's theatrical burden. Because the practical dramatic training it offers is extra-curricular in nature, the Club has met with little of the hostility accorded by University Hall to the "Workshop." It has produced consistently creditable plays despite many great obstacles, and if its present rate of growth continues, the Club bids fair to revive Harvard's great dramatic tradition, and to restore the University to its former position as the foremost theatrical...
