...when Young America shall cease to begin life with fire-fighting aspirations, Director Nigh provides the public with a picture well calculated to arouse boyish enthusiasm. The hero is a fireman who not only rescues women and children from the flames, but fearlessly announces to the heroine's papa, corrupt politician, that it is unethical to build firetraps. Charles Ray is the young man with brass buttons, tin hat; and May McAvoy, as the pleasing heroine, marries him in a smoky fadeout, while Boy Scouts in the audience roar approval...
...world, would like to hock the diamond but remembering those facets keeps it and just never does take his trip to Europe. That trip to Europe, by the way, is one of the best of Mr. McCord's etchings. "I Never Go to Europe." Perhaps he saw Papa and Mama and little Mildred off. At least there's a nice irony in thinking...
...final indication of the mounting interest of Hungarians in the Monarchy was seen last week when the death mask of the Emperor Franz Josef, previously hawked without success among the numerous Austrian archdukes, was purchased for $2,000 by the Hungarian Archduke Friedrich.

They repeat with awe the statement that he has never lost a penny for himself or anyone else, and that he still has the first shilling he made when he worked for Editor Bowles. That he likes music there can be no doubt...
...riddles, but makes Her Wilful Highness like him for it, as well. The feminine "shall I, shall I not" is woven into the fabric of a soundly constructed play, one that feels itself easily superior to the crude realisms of ordinary theatre. Thus the hero's papa's whiskers are a haughtily braided Turkish towel, the sage councilors' hats, victrola records. The realistic furniture of the stage is transcended by the art of dramatic construction, so nobody is annoyed because the hero appears in a cutaway with only a sash to suggest his outlandish time and environment...
