...tires of her caprice, and his infatuation increases in direct ratio to her boredom until one night when he finds her with one of her other friends he goes temporarily crazy and strangles her. The irony of this denouement is softened by having the woman recover, the young lover turn back to his former fiancée and the career he had forgotten, but in spite of its compromises The Careless Age remains a better picture than most. Best shot: nerve-treatment in a hotel...
...corpse of Stock-broker Edward Tracy (Jack Lee), which sat upright in grisly electrified rigidity and a Panama hat throughout most of the play. Inspector Hannen questioned the late Mr. Tracy's lovely wife (Dorothy Peterson) and his partner (Edward Pawley), who was also Mrs. Tracy's lover. After the dark murder of a clerk (J. Hammond Dailey) in the firm of the deceased, the Inspector ordered the motorman to retrace his course.

...bushy eyebrows, the beard running up to the eyes, the broad and lofty forehead and cranium, 'like the vault of a temple,' powerful jaws 'that can grind nuts,' the muzzle and the voice of a lion." A cold-water-bather, long-walker, sound-sleeper, lover of wine and fish. He needed women but liked them guardedly. Said he of them: "If I had been willing thus to sacrifice my vital force, what would have remained for the nobler, the better thing?" His heredity predisposed him to tuberculosis and alcoholism while enteritis, syphilis, weak eyes were potential...
