...poets. If the success of any drama is its suitability for stage presentation, then "Sappho and Phaon." as has been proved in New York, fails, but so also must the dramas of Browning and Tennyson and Swinburne be called failures. The reasons are obvious: it is too long-I think that the version given by Miss Kalisch was liberally cut down; it is too far removed from actuality; it has too little action: it is too poetical. Even the exaggerated popularity of Sothern and Marlowe could hardly have supported this play and that was all that made "Joan...

...first you will be inclined to laugh at this man, and to think that he is not smart in his ideas. I suggest that you watch him closely, for he will presently demonstrate to you that money dominates everybody except the man who does not want money.

...field men to let a ball bounce around on the ground and come to rest before they need to touch it. Moreover, it gives the line men something to do besides tackling and opening holes, and has a strong moral effect on the defense. The forward pass I also think is necessary to the game in some form, although it should be modified in some way.
