...married in June. Most of her trousseau was ready. Her fiancé, Edward Sullivan, sports editor of the Macfadden New York Evening Graphic, was sitting at her bedside in a Chicago hospital. Flowers from Gertrude Ederle, Jack Dempsey, Tex Rickard and many another were brought in by her parents. She had been sick for 92 days. She, who had many times looked up from thrashing waters and laughed at the sun, grew pale, saw no sun. Sybil Bauer had ceased to live; her family, her fiance, sports lovers, bowed their heads...
...THAW BREAKS LOOSE!" screamed the Bernarr Macfadden pornoGraphic tabloid last week, even as the Browning-Peaches story guttered. For this there was not even the excuse that the public does not know all there is to know about Harry K. Thaw.

And in Boston a crowd stimulated a hockey game between the Bruins and the St. Patrick's team by throwing onto the ice 76 American pennies, one Canadian penny, one broken bottle, 65 cigar and cigaret butts, countless programs, and the yolks, the whites and the shells of four eggs...
...Maitresse de Roi" is nothing if not graphic. There is great beauty in its stage designing, a meticulous eye for details, and more than an attempt at recalling the best of French art in the little scenes within scenes in which the Comedie Francaise revels. The play is a show-piece. It has the further advantage for foreign consumption that it is readily understood. The enunciation of the players is nicely turned to aid foreign ears. But it is not necessary to depend upon the actors' speech. There is the program to fall back upon; and the very situations themselves...
