Desert Gold. Zane Grey has contributed another hair-raiser, in which a sand storm is a vast feature. It deals with the dangers surrounding a girl who lived on the edge of a Western desert, and how a brave lieutenant of cavalry (Neil Hamilton) preserved her from them. Western pictures, like Western sandwiches,- are much the same everywhere and good if you like them...
...champion took the offensive and jostled his opponent rudely. There was a great deal of pasting interspersed between these events. Mr. Risko took his chastisement with something akin to genius, an infinite capacity for taking punishment. Mr. Berlenbach's punishment was 15 1/2 lb. heavier, but he was very brave.

It is all very exciting, but seldom convincing. One suspects that...

Garibaldi (whose revolutionary tactics against the petty Italian states made possible the present United Kingdom of Italy). "I much regret the extravagant excitement [in England] respecting Garibaldi, which shows little dignity or discrimination in the nation. . . . Brave and honest though he is, he has ever been a revolutionist leader." Diary Note in 1870. "Heard that the mob at Paris had rushed into the Senate and proclaimed the downfall of the dynasty, proclaiming a Republic. This was received with acclamation and the proclamation was made from the Hotel...
