...ladies of a beauty which battles description. "Only the brave deserve the fair" might be called the keynote of the Romancers. Of course, that's changed now. Only the bread-winners deserve the fair in these degenerate days. But then, the whole structure has changed. Who can imagine D'Artagnan carrying on his habitual warfare with a tank of phosgen strapped upon his back, or Robert Clay sitting in his but and slaying his enemies with electrically controlled bombing planes!

His performance was, however, marred by the excessive friskiness with which he trotted about the stage at all times and seasons, and by a too rapid delivery. Having virtue on his side, and a good deal of profanity in his part, it is needless to say that he created a very...
