Homer has told us of the expedition against Troy, Xenophon has given us the tale of the Ten Thousand, and Caesar has recounted his Gallic conquests.

...fact. Mr. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, of the United States supreme court, the Hon. Hamilton Fish, Judge Robert Grant, Robert Bacon, the roster is long of those who in their time capered in the Pudding shows. We smile as we notice that Thomas Mott Ocborne once played Helen of Troy, that "Nick" Longworth gave a violin solo one night in 1890, and that Thomas W. Lamont, of J. P.

...even a good play," but it must be admitted that as a dramatic spectacle it is an impressive production. What little plot there is, is soon lost sight of and there only remains a vivid impression of situations frought with tenseness, and the sight of the women of fallen Troy, waiting in sorrow to hear their lot.
