...leading staff members to the trial, including saccharine Nell Brinkley who discovered a "lesson to mothers" for the front page. But the editor of the New York Herald Tribune may well have pondered before deciding the sensation was so unavoidable that he must assign to it Star Reporters Forrest Davis and Whitney Bolton. Both the Herald Tribune and the New York Times made pitiable (and dishonest) efforts at decency by referring to "Mr." and "Mrs." Browning. The Times kept the story off the front page-further dishonesty-but well knew that its readers would skim impatiently until they reached...
...question is: are the men who flogged Lawyer Brown and these other Toombs County dwellers real or spurious Klansmen? Grand Dragon Forrest, of course, says they are not. He adds another $500 reward to Governor Walker's $1,000 for the arrest and conviction of the leader of the floggers. Governor Walker, too, is a "proud and noble" Klansman.

One child left home; another married a rotter; another became a felon. The youngest, whom Stephen really, finally loved, worked himself to death trying to please. Such a tale, such a well defined autocrat as Stephen Heath, might serve the ends of young things with harsh, exacting...
...Modern day dramas," continued Miss Forrest, "are of the very poorest type. Their plots possess nothing but the same old sentimental appeal to the audience. The public is desirous of something now, something startling. That is why it patronizes the musical comedy, in a vain attempt to unearth something spectacular. The public will never be satisfied. It will turn next to the serious drama; then, we will have another complete reversion to the musical revue. I predict, however, that in five years, Ziegfeld's Follies will be a thing of the past...
