...where he maintained an admirably unrepentant and sinister smile. To him the Othello of Louis Leon Hall was an excellent foil. Mr. Hall is portly, with a cheerful rotund face, which, well darkened, brought out the whites of his rolling eyes, and gave him the jolly aspect of a Moor who has made up many a Pullman berth in his time. It was perhaps to attain more dignity that he thundered and declaimed his lines, with sweeping gestures; but he did it well, and in his scenes with Desdemona he was all simple sincerity...
...moral aspect, therefore, the objector may well confine himself; it betrays a sufficient number of facts for discussion; on it alone may a solid case be built. Does inviolate tradition condone all? Does an air of the sacrosanct vindicate every blemish on the tabernacle? The reply is obviously one which must bow to the canons of good taste. Until the daily vaudeville ceases the public will be expected to stop, to stare, perhaps to snicker in adolescent fashion.

And it was indeed a lean week when we were unable to read of the British Battalion Commander...
This spiritual politeness of her subject is doubtless what brought Miss Gather, who is not a Catholic, to write his story. His nature leaves her free to chronicle every aspect of the vast country in which he worked and where she, three quarters of a century later, annually repairs for enlargement of the spirit. Into his pious story she can bring a wealth of unchurchly anecdotes because, trekking around his desert diocese on his cream-colored mule, Bishop Latour was respectfully studious of its folklore. He was austere towards priests like Padre Martinez, the bison-shouldered Mexican at Taos, brazen...
