...Tweedledee recite their poem. The Mouse, the White Rabbit, the March Hare, the Gryphon, the Duchess (''Speak roughly to your little boy and beat him when he sneezes")-all appear in scenes which occur and vanish incredibly. The Duchess' squealing baby actually turns into a live pig in Alice's arms. Actress Le Gallienne as the White Queen flies giddily about through the air. It is impossible to praise the performers singly. As the Dodo says: "Everybody has won, and all must have prizes...

The punctured fabric wrapped itself about the wing, put the plane into a spin. Miss Gibson cut off the ignition, saw the rooftops of Queens gyrating toward her. Then Instructor Copeland seized her shoulder, yelled...
...first husband decided she looked like a pig, drank himself into a toper's grave. Her second husband was a humorous, bumbling fraud who preached a little (Carry used to interrupt his sermons), occasionally printed a newspaper, claimed the "brightest legal mind in Kansas." When bibliomancy revealed to Carry that she must demolish by "hatchetation" the blind tigers of Medicine Lodge, Kiowa, Enterprise; when she was jailed for being a nuisance and refused to return home until she had destroyed the nation's supply of "hell broth," Preacher Nation divorced her. Carry, considering herself "just a bulldog...
