...Coolidge's amazing address to the New York Chamber of Commerce, except a certain notorious prayer. The author of that prayer also thanked God he was not as other men are, and recorded with the same smirking self-satisfaction his financial righteousness and his virtuous self-restraint.

There is an excellent bit of juvenile acting by Dora Cramer as Meenie, Rip Van Winkle's little daughter, completely offset by Olive Tell who takes the part of Meenie many...
