Stran 144 - DRAMA, and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management (and if a daily paper, the circulation), etc., of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption, required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in section 443, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the reverse of this form, to wit: 1.
Stran 136 - ... The Magazine in America," by Prof. Dr. Algernon Tassin, a learned birchman of the great university of Columbia, and it is so badly written that the interest of its matter is almost concealed — almost, but fortunately not quite. The professor, in fact, puts English to paper with all the traditional dullness of his flatulent order, and, as usual, he is most horribly dull when he is trying most kittenishly to be lively.

Stran 136 - literature" manufactured by these tear-squeezers, though often enough produced in beer cellars, was frankly aimed at the Young Person. Its main purpose was to avoid giving offense; it breathed a heavy and oleaginous piety, a. snug niceness, a sickening sweetness. It is as dead to-day as Baalam's ass. The Atlantic Monthly was set up by men in revolt against this reign of mush, as Putnam's had been a few years before, but the business of reform proved to be difficult and hazardous, and it was a long...
Stran 137 - Ameri, can people. It started off with a truly remarkable series of articles on the Civil War; it plunged into contemporary politics; it eagerly sought out and encouraged new writers; it began printing decent pictures instead of the old chromos; it forced itself, by the sheer originality and enterprise of its editing, upon the public attention. American literature owes more to the Century than to any other magazine, and perhaps American thinking owes almost as much. It was the first "literary" periodical...
Stran 129 - ... Tree, for example, himself an actor, argues, as did Coquelin before him, that the little knowledge which is supposed to be dangerous in most walks of life is the desideratum of the stage artist — the little French, German, Italian, music, etc. And then, following up this spruce brain manoeuvre, the gentleman observes that where education tends to the repression of emotion, the actor lives and moves and has his being in its expression. Mr. Tree here obviously waxes ridiculous. To argue that...
