...Humor benighted in a wilderness of words. Philosophy as ancient sit is petty a more frequent use of capitals than custom (aristocratic custom, but custom nevertheless) allows--that is the Proletarian who for the first time wipes the dust from his shoes and steps into the prior. Nor does he seem a quite at home, naturally enough. Fingers that are more used to the aigrette, than to the pen do not response easily to the new demands; his humor somehow lacks that airy step of one who is well-fed and content with the universe. Yet now that this creature...
...like. America likes to think of itself as a hustling, bustling, nation of practical and efficient men who have not time to waste either in the creation or reading of navels which do not more than tell a pleasant story pleasantly. America, with all it boasted sense of humor take life more strenuously, if one is to believe its novelists, than do its stoild cousins of England.

The quality of Mr. Chesterton's humor, on the whole, is far superior to that popular brand which we get from public entertainers on the vaudeville stage. For one, he has never taken as butts for his jests...
...sprightly, graceful, and charming chorus play there. This year's performance is well above the average Vincent show in every particular; to the author, Miss Ruth Graves, and to the producer, Mr. J. Jack Caddigan, highest credit is due. To be sure, there seems at times a lack of humor in the production, and the few lapses into burlesque are all too welcome, but the acting, dancing, costumes and tunes more than make up for this fault, if such...
