Oldsters were pleased to learn, however, that young passion is not wholly dead. The author of "Kisses," who submitted 27 other poems, cried out: As the powerful wind pushes the cliffs And polishes down the canyons, Tears from sage and greasewood Their sharp and bitter odor, Flings sand in fiendish figures-I-thrill! I am mad! I am here! Take me-wild-drunk with delight...

Ralph Morgan plays the part of the wrong husband and does a masterful job of being incredulously fiendish. A serious spectator might contemplate justified murder as the only dose of medicine to cure his high-handed treatment of the fair Sally...
