How Men Propose in Fiction Says Mc Anally Study
Professor Mc Anally applies averages to a century of proposals in fiction. He finds 86 percent of men lift women after acceptance and 67 percent kiss on the lips. Proposals occur most often while standing, with many kneeling or sitting, and reactions of women include a high pattern of anticipation and shoulder or head contact. Rejections are rare, but when they occur men flee or despair while women sometimes offer sisterly ties or leave in anger.

The Continentals Opera at Park Theatre Review
The Continentals by George H. Hayes and Emil Schwab had its first stage production at Park Theatre yesterday. Amateurs largely starved of stage experience showed nervousness and limited talent, yet the score remained tuneful and the chorus capable.
