...here even than in England therefore there is no base for such an assertion. Both Miss Terry and Irving deplored the fact that England did not appreciate Booth and when he failed there most pathetically, Irving made Booth act in his theatre and share his honors as the great artist and gentleman he was. This as a beau jeste to Americans whom he was most grateful to and has never tired of acknowledging that same great debt. No! No! No! Ellen Terry did not "detest" American audiences. It is sacrilege...
...buffalo-ghost, the broncho-ghost ... a friend, an enemy, a sacred hag with two oceans in her medicine bag . . . and you are . . . the cheap car parked by the station door. . . ."

What seems so is only transition." To emphasize this peaceful belief, Gordon Craig was designing...
...silhouettes, touched with a unique grace, severe, luxurious and odd. Forty-five, a native of Alsace-Lorraine and a resident of Paris, Edgar Brandt has none of the look of a Latin Quarter esthete; one would perhaps pick him out by appearance as a manufacturer rather than an artist. He talks like an artist, thinks like one, in practical, concrete terms...
