...course, Mr. Mills might return from the opera some evening, take off his top hat and dress coat, roll up his sleeves, and write a song that would surge above the glamor of "The Sidewalks of New York." But down on the lower East Side the old grind organs still throb and Tammany Hall politicians light cigars, lean back in squeaky chairs, smile at one another, say: "He cannot...
...countess conquers and is conquered in love. After all these years and years of nobility in difficult incognito, those who still relish such fare will find the Countess Maritza thoroughly edifying, highly seasoned with color and music, harmoniously staged. The same romantically inclined folk will overlook, in the general glamor, a turbulent succession of flat puns and desperate buffoonery.

Thin, tightlipped, square-shouldered, undistinguished outwardly save as young editors sometimes look alert and vigorous, Gerald P. Nye has done very well for himself without any of the paternal glamor that has assisted Robert Lafollette, aged 31, Nye's only rival for "youngster of the Senate." All things being equal, doubtless Senators Nye and Lafollette will reminisce together some decades from now in the august Chamber, over episodes of the mid-Nineteen-Twenties, which no one else then present will come any where near remembering...
