Emily Perkins Bissell, the lady who first used the seal idea in the U. S., remains active at her social work, begun in 1889. She is now a pleasant, motherly sort of woman in her early sixties, stout, grey-haired. She has a summer home at Paris, Maine, which she calls "Right-of-way" and where she pleases herself by writing semi-religious poetry. Two years ago she published Happiness & Other Verses, giving the royalties to Christmas Seal campaigns. Although her seal work has had national effect, her personal activity has remained localized in & about Wilmington. Her sole decoration...
...conventional knowledge of Peter is that he cut off priests beards with a stout pair of shears, and that he spent his youth in Holland building boats by day and breaking windows by night. This is all very true and very salty, but there is more. The Vagabond likes to think of Peter as a man of gargantuan size who walks unceasingly with enormous strides through a broad land of Stigian darkness, carrying in his right hand a half burnt match. This is a pretty portrait, but it would never do in a blue book. Tomorrow Mr. Vernadsky will talk...
...none but the most iconoclastic purist. Director Geddes has also provided an adequate cast. Raymond Massey, a cadaverous young man who brings from London fame as an actor-director-manager (The Man in Possession, Topaze, Grand Hotel) simultaneously makes his U. S. and Shakespearean debut in the title role. Stout Colin Keith-Johnston (Journey's End) of the husky voice is Laertes.

...those cavilling materialists who blot the world, that the Vagabond at one point said the lecture was "today" and at another with equal calm stated that it was to be "tomorrow." He could make adequate rebuttal, but he won't. Did not Keats write of "Stout Cortez?" Are you not answered, oh ye of little faith? And anyway, it is part and parcel of the nuance, the devil may care, the grand elan that makes the Vagabond such a lovable old wastrel. Ask anyone you meet, "What makes the Vagabond such a delightful character?" and the answer will come back...
