...cruel Captain Butler, who directs the Iroquois raids, and ravages the American outposts. About these three a rapidly shifting melodrama of death, pasion, and mad action revolves with bewildering intensity. Indian raids, banquets, panoramic rides of rescue, fort-storming, and cavalry charges of fighting patriots succeed each other. Deep touches of pathos, and fleeting moments of humor--some ridiculous, some gruesome--are mixed through. The scenes are all emotional to the extreme. When the play is over there is hardly a normal heart in the theatre. The effect is much the same as that of a football game, leaving every...

Incidentally, and with all respect, it may be of interest that he was six feet four inches tall--which was considered unusual even in the virile...
Unfortunately this is not Xanadu nor has there yet appeared any wonder-working Kubla Khan. In twentieth century America all structures, whether material like pleasure domes or intellectual like educational systems must be built slowly and with particular attention to solidity. Thus almost all construction which necessitates broad and deep foundations necessitates also the employing of some temporary shelter in which the builders can work and think until the edifice which they have conceived rise over and around them in its complete and adequate proportions...
