...oldest legitimate theatrical producers in the country. . . . This tax is one of the things that practically make spoken drama extinct. I think I know more about the theatre than Secretary Mellon does. . . . The movie show can be carried in a round tin can, the vaudeville sketch provides its own lines and scenery, all baseball needs to operate is bats and balls; but the legitimate producer must make his own scenery and pay his actors and the crew of the theatre. All the movie companies, baseball and vaudeville have paid dividends, but no legitimate company is able to do so. Otis...
Britons reflected that the newly chosen Viceroy, although a Conservative, is known to have a Liberal bent. Eton, Christ Church and the traditional round of aristocratic preferment have smoothed his path.

More widely appealing will be the ex parte satires, which are very human and mellow indeed and written, as is the whole book, with notable artistic economy. These include: a Mystic, a Skeptic, and a suppressed Dyspeptic who called himself an Asthmatic; a Famous Author who Returned to the Primitive, enjoying both himself and the publicity; a nimble Ass and an Elephant, who grumbled "life is easier...
...Vary the conventional round of training with bull fights and hand-to-hand conflicts with grizzly bears, tigers, lions, and any other wild beasts that can be secured. No device has ever been discovered quite equal to this for developing personal courage...
