Warren William, a veritable Thoth with a moustache, plays the part of a young man graced with personal at- traction, a propensity to love, and a desire to reach the heights on someone's else endeavors. He rambles through his part with a rhythmic ease that is restful to watch, now calling up a grimace, now elevating his voice, now twitching a finger or two. His is the center role, and he builds it up with a sort of vacillating adroitness--ever spurred on by vain ambition and pride, ever retarded by conceit and a weakness for cards--until...
...interior. Upholstery was of soft green Morocco leather. "On the inside of the doors." De Long wrote in the Sun, "and across the partition separating the chauffeur's compartment is a gold and silver panoramic view of old Egypt with Egyptian dancing girls thinly veiled, going through rhythmic motions."

He admired St. Patrick's Cathedral because he believes Tenrikyo has much in common with Roman Catholicism - its ritual is complicated and he as Patriarch wears elaborate robes. (But Tenrikyo includes rhythmic dances, camp-meetings.) One of Japan's best jiu-jitsu wrestlers, the Patriarch admires baseball. In Washington he saw the Yankees and Senators play but liked them less than young, fat, vigorous Japanese players...
...aviators, on the other hand, have progressed by rhythmic steps to perfection. First three men, then two men, then one man, flew across the Atlantic, and Miss Earhart capitulated to the obvious with a solo excursion. Evidently the same gradus honorum will be observed in world flights. But there is an important difference. Mr. Brody relinquished the front pages on his third attempt, and even the barrelleers were only good for five. When naivete has followed in the exodus of the earlier colonial virtues, possibly witless aeroplane maneouvers will join their predecessors in silence, and the native yen for high...
