...half, I Married An Angel pins all its hopes on being fluffy, fleecy, feathery swansdown. And fluffy, fleecy, feathery indeed is Actress Zorina with her pale face, charming figure, dainty dancing and foolproof accent; never more so than in the scene where she is visited by her sister angels from Heaven and floats across the stage cooing their names: Clarrinda, Rosa-leena, Seronel-la, Arabella.

Eight anarchists were tried for murder, and although it was never determined who threw the bomb, four were hanged, three got life and one committed suicide. In 1893 the three who got life were pardoned by the pale, homely, contradictory John Peter Altgeld, Governor of Illinois, prison reformer, idealist, lawyer, wealthy real-estate operator and builder of one of Chicago's first skyscrapers. Last week Altgeld's story was told in a 496-page volume which gave the governor's reasons for his act, showed...
