...Famed actor-author-manager, husband of famed Comedienne Yvonne Printemps; son of the great actor-manager Lucien Guitry. M. Sacha Guitry's dramas appear on the stages of every land including the Scan dinavian...
...Style in which these lives and episodes are related and the settings of chivalric South Carolina worked up behind them do vast credit to their author. The dialogue, especially the ejaculations ("By cock and pye!", "Shut your clamtrap!", "A real, spang beauty!") are as racy and robustious as the points of honor are delicately sharpened, polished and thrust home.

Only the wicked Continental authors had thitherto dared treat openly of females who "did." Author Allen's Herminia Barton not only "did" but gloried in it, and he in her. Daughter of a dean, school mistress of proper young ladies, Herminia positively refused to be made an honest woman, though her sensible lover, Alan Merrick, pleaded, and her would-be father-in-law cabled to them in Perugia with a flourish. Nevertheless, Victorian sympathy surged...
