...second performance at the Boston Opera House, Mlle. Cecile Sorel, assisted by M. Albert Lambert and M. Louis Ravet, chose Dumas-fils' "La Dame Aux Camelias". IT was and interesting performance of a play that was once totally interesting. To the French mind we are a sentimental nation that has never yet outgrown this theatre story of a certain bad lady purified by her love for a certain stupid and cadish young man.

...thought there was little change for such refreshment since Jeffrey Farnol chose to make his books unreadable, but have found our appetite considerably satisfied by this first work of Mr. Marquand's. But we have by no means reached the point of satiety, and sincerely hope that the author who is, by the way, a Harvard graduate of the Class of 1915, will not make this his sole adventure in this field of fiction. Frankly it is not, nor does it pretend to be, an inspiring book. You do not turn the last page with a fierce concentration, nor, having...
