He was in fact a Casanova, yearned to be a Napoleon. He carried on world famed affairs with Actresses Eleonora Duse and Sarah Bernhardt, Dancers Ida Rubinstein and Isadora Duncan, other Edwardian beauties.

Here last year was formed the Harvard Film Society, which presented a survey of the development of the American cinema and contributed, incidentally, to the up-keep of the dusty reels in the Modern Art Muscum's library. So well supported and enjoyed was this...
...Pike outside Philadelphia, Reporter Paine said that 4,000 spiders of the species Nephila plumipes (who spun the "finest webs") were busy working for M.
