...from Mrs. Amaranth at his own church bazaar. Thenceforward it is but a step until the glittering and ever competent Arthur Byron, this time a scheming Senator, gold digs "the Governor" successfully- using Miss Starr as his spade. Skilful acting by almost all hands does not redeem an unskilful script...

When he was imprisoned, fighting for Venice at Genoa in 1298, rather than waste time he employed an amanuensis and dictated a careful account of what his father (Nicolo) and uncle (Maffeo) and self had seen.

He could brighten the bulkhead of an officer's messroom. He could color the Missouri Capitol with brilliant sea-script proclaiming, "We [the Navy] Are Ready Now." The Naval Academy received ten of his paintings as the gift of the late George von L. Meyer. With more delicate panels he made gay the steam yacht Noma for Vincent Astor, the schooner yacht Vagrant for Harold S. Vanderbilt, the yacht Viking...
