...blond man of average height, with a mustache in the Kaiser Wilhelm manner, an inadequate nose, and a body that astonishingly, at the slightest excuse, erected mountain-ranges, mounds and melons of muscles-Eugene Sandow, like Mark Hanna, Lillian Russell, George Coxey, John L. Sullivan, was one of the outstanding idols of a period that worshiped modesty in all forms, including the nude. Ladies would prod his dorsal, deltoid and pectoral development with carefully gloved fingers and ask if he were real. Sporting gentlemen with Damn-my-eyes and By-God-Sirs would lay their wagers on him when...
...lover are attracted honestly; want to marry. The son, a neurotic, effeminate youth, bursts into helpless hysteria. It is this last part that Mr. Coward plays; nervously, overpoweringly. Several other characters are English players from the London company. Particularly is the mother's part effective as played by Lillian Braithwaite.

...Miss Lillian Harrison. Garmented heavily in grease, a young woman from Argentina slipped into the sea from Cape Griz Nez. A hailstorm struck her an hour out, but she made extraordinary time. In a little over two hours she made four miles. Four hours out she (vegetarian) took a little food, appeared to get new vigor, increased her pace. Seven hours out she was only eight miles from Dover. No previous swimmer had ever made such fast time. Seven hours and five minutes out she called to an Egyptian, Ishak Helmy, who was "pacing" her.: "Catch me, Helmy." He turned...
