...Miriam's lover, and Sally, the West African negress, addicted to voo-doo, complete this attractive menage. But we should mention Tod, the giant police-dog, whose essentially surly nature contributes materially to the plot. The advent of Oscar, the musician,--who tells the story,--with a set of brand-new and, comparatively, healthy passions, precipitates matters. Things move from bad to worse, and the climax is reached with a Saturnalia "a deux," two suicides, and the mutual assassination of Pride...
...your blunders is that which calls Washington a Deist, and likens him in this respect to Thomas Paine, then goes on to insinuate that Washington lent his influence to the perpetuation of religion in spite of this assumed fact, because he was an "able politician."

...well that even the antiquated engine, the "Isobel", has to take a back seat, and "Isobel" has captivated her audience as well as her engineer in a case of "love at first toot." But while Conklin and Bancroft are not always funny, they are always fast in a brand new comedy background, namely the railroad field which seems to have infinite possibilities, especially when this pair are out to make a run. Indeed, these two comedians seem to be out to undo the jinx that makes so many slapstick favorites of the footlights flops of the Kleig lights. They spare...
