...piece is a most elusive thing and extremely difficult to get across the footlights. That the performance almost succeeded in doing this is a matter for no little praise. In fact, the effort was such an admirable one, and there is so much to commend, that a would-be critic hesitates to mention any of the faults--we have too few performances of such plays in America...

Like Roosevelt a firm believer in the big stick, he has clubbed his way to the top by the sheer force of his convictions. He roused the enmity of the socialists by the vigor with which he used the military to quell the mining strikes in the Pas de Calais department in 1906. He fired the wrath...
