From the piercing shriek of Katinka, through the lyric beauty of the soprano, the sombre resignation of the contralto, the passion of the tenor, the expansiveness...

He has all the best property, none of the better instincts. Colonel Oliver Perry Morton Hollis and his dark, haughty daughter, Ruth, represent the town's historical background. They have the better instincts, but their property is bred out. A nice, crude, straightforward narrative is contrived by dragging in a hero-tramp with a fraternity pin, two trig scoundrels right out of Horatio Alger, a sleepy attorney who makes small-town small...
