...away. Lima society is exciting, but very limited. After Madrid, Mr. Moore would find it paltry if not provincial. And aside from the absurd Tacna-Arica dispute, in which the U. S. is a laughed-at arbiter, no momentous Peruvian problem awaits solution by a stalwart U. S. patriot. True, there is talk that U. S. bankers are planning handsome developments, which is to say exploitations, in Peru. But Mr. Moore, with all the money a man could decently desire, is far above being a dollar diplomatist.

...Britisher. The scenery, some said the finest factor of the evening, was designed by Norman Bel Geddes. Eminent English Players Leslie Faber and Madge Titheradge were specially imported. Fabulous sums were spent with a devoted flourish. Few men would take such risks. Mr. Miller escapes with every honor. The Patriot is a production to be respected deeply, to be seen by many people with great interest, to be regretted by many for a stateliness which robbed it of keen relish...
