Weinstein, who much resumbles one of Ding's cartoons of a crazy anarchist, is actually an amiable, talented, and witty Jewish revolutionary. He was one of Ludwig C. A. K. Marten's ablest assistants during the comic career of the Soviet "Embassy" in New York two years ago, and both he and his chief left America together under the impression that they had been deported. The Department of Labor subsequently denied that the deportation order had been given, and blamed the New York Legislature's Lusk Committee, "which had no authority." This affords the loophole through which...

...made-to-order villagers who usually are intended to typify the rural life. The Boston Stock Company does not portray theatre country-folk; but goes deeper and gives a sketch of typical country life. In fact, one is not once reminded of the slapstick country rube nor is the comic hired man nor the old skinflint, foiled by the gallantry of the brave hero, dragged painfully into the scenes.
