...examples of the whole school of late 19th Century realism that reached its height in the spectacular Drury Lane melodramas in which frail heroines were pursued through burning forests and over real waterfalls, in which locomotives and galloping horses cluttered the stage.

The entire modern school of stage design stems from a reaction against the fustiness of these spectacles...
...money, with interest, which his upbringing has cost. From the rest he gives Beatrice a handsome dowry, Narcissa a present that will make her pomp less anxious, then takes himself and his sternly aching heart off to parts unknown.

...critics with every sympathy for the idea back of the arch, for the industry of Sculptor Barnard and for the artistic value of many of the individual figures stayed mum. None dared remind a man who has worked 15 years on one job that a 100-foot arch is not sculpture but architecture. The vast panels of plaster he has designed are white excrescences oozing from masonry. Despite their individual merit and the noble symbolism they represent, not one of the 53 figures has any structural connection with the arch of which it is a part...
