Philosophical and scientific discussion traces the question of life origins from ancient ideas of spontaneous generation to 19th century experiments.

Listen World Voices Within by Elsie Robinson

New York Diary Peeks at Theatre Life and Gossip

A New York diary recalls a day with Veee Porter, a noisy theater crowd, and a barefoot stuntsman who claims to be a lady. It notes Hearst Jr, a river drive, and a visit to Youn Towell in Hoboken. Bachelor brothers on Madison Ave share a luxury block with 14 rooms each, while fashion gawkers mock white ermine wraps. Real estate profiteers push rents up to 250 a week, and George White riffs on a vanished actor. The piece blends social satire with theatrical anecdotes and urban manners.
