...their appearance, J. McK., Kimball, as the hotel clerk, was perfectly terrible, but you couldn't possibly get sore with him about it. D. A. Williams, as Byron Victory Dawes, the head of the nouveau riche family and head of the suspender-trust, carried on in a fine fervor of unsubstantial middle-aged choler throughout. Mrs. Dawes, played by B. S. Cogan, carried on in a fine fervor of substantial middle-aged choler throughout, and sang very pleasantly indeed. B. K.

...these days of scientific fervor which have produced exhaustive charts and maps, even for the winds and stars, it is a difficult matter to play the role of a Marco Polo. Yet in this the guest of honor at the Union tonight has succeeded completely. He has explored unknown polar regions, discovered new peoples in new lands, and upset traditional theories. What more adventurous than to spend five years in the far-away North of the world, and then return with amazing information after all hope had been given...
