...almost unprecedented opportunity to show his metal. He is the new Commodore of the N. G. I.* Line. He is new on the Manhattan route. Until last week he had been engaged in taking poor Italians to South America, bringing rich Argentines to Europe. Commodore Taraboth is lithe, slender, quick, with pointed mustachios fascinating to Signoras. He did all he could, all anyone could, to save Miss Moore...
...husband's jealous bullying. He championed her in her plight, and married her the moment word was received that Robards had divorced her. The actual decree was delayed until long after the blissfully ignorant lovers were married. Village gossips taunted Rachel for "living in sin," and Jackson was quick to defend her honor, and his, in a series of duels.

Richardson, who from the Civil War until 1910 was Washington correspondent for the Baltimore Sun, in which Pundit Kent's "Great Game of Politics" (column) appears daily and of which he is vice president. He delineates the technology of politics. He has done a history...
...Mackaye is no doubt one of those who drove her to it. Certainly two interpretations could not differ more radically-Maristan Chapman's poignant novel of a reticent folk moving slowly to the rhythm of deep passions; and Percy Mackaye's lusty plays of primitive types with quick emotion and prompt voluble speech...
