...wonder of U. S. tennis. When Johnston retired, Richards turned professional, Williams grew too veteran to be brilliant for more than a day at a time, there appeared on the scene a great second-growth of younger players. These-George Lott, John Van Ryn, Berkeley Bell, Gregory Mangin, Wilmer Allison, John Hennessey; John Doeg-were the ones who caused the difficulty. All were young collegians, and they looked as much alike as so many agitated and disobliging Chinamen.

As soon as he was called to Seattle (1902) he began cleaning up that wicked stopover towards the Klondike goldfields.

...stage piece, Apron Strings, from which the scenario is adapted. Expert playing manages to make the story funny in a way that is partly meek, partly blatant. Nugent does not begin to behave humanly until friends have taken his mother's letters away from him. Jean Arthur, Allison Skipworth and Tully Marshall all work hard, and their combined efforts might have made a very funny piece indeed if the producers had had nerve. Typical sequence: the relatives of the wife, who had gone home, searching the husband's house for the letters...
