...gillie who makes all men laugh in Oh, Please! The latter vehicle is a rickety contraption, muscial comedy, about an actress who invades the home of the President of the Purity League while his wife is on leave of absence. Apparently the Dillingham production executives tossed Miss Lillie the script with its two good songs ( Nicodemus" and "You Know That I Know ) and its feeble lines, and told her to see what she could with it.

Copies of this manuscript were made in several tongues, which scholars and explorers have annotated through the centuries. The present volume is the classic translation by Scholar Marsden of England (1818), edited...
...With the puerile squeamishness of most Americans you seem unable to appreciate that when director Schwarz of the German U.F.A. picture company, was presented with a script in which two horses were supposed to fall off a cliff and be killed, his artistic honesty allowed him no other course than to follow the script. Some of your readers sneered at me when I wrote you about von Richthofen?and you, of course, printed their sneers [TIME, Dec. 14, 28]. No German would have done that! We Germans?many of us at least?are strong enough to see the world...
