We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
THE LOVE OF JOIIX BUSKIN
123
RUSKIN IS THE FIRST TO GREET THE NEW LADY MILLAIS
ties were gone thru, a divorce was secured in Scotland, Ruskin not even appearing to answer the charges that were necessary to establish a case. A year later she became Lady Millais, and tradition has it that John Ruskin
was an unbidden guest at the ceremony, and that while the half of him cried out to her, happiness, the other half carried home to his somber house a dropped bridal glove. But this was the nature of the man.
A Ballad of Motion Picture Plays
By HARVEY PEAKE
Oh, playbills of a bygone day,
I gaze upon you lovingly, For many a charm then had the play
That latterly has ceased to be;
In place of modern foolery, And half -fledged stars that hold full sway,
In Photoplays I'll seek to see Some of the charm of yesterday !
"Camille" did cunningly portray
A woman's tragic coquetry ; And "Rip Van Winkle," gravely gay,
Brought tears and smiles alternately ;
Each manager believes that he With bygone plays his vogue would slay, —
In Photoplays I'll seek to see Some of the charm of yesterday !
I would I could Time's hand delay .
That I might see "The Guardsmen Three," And yet again a tribute pay
"The Rivals," "Caste," "Diplomacy" ;
Yet I still hope to find a key To open for myself a way —
In Photoplays I'll seek to see Some of the charm of yesterday !
ENVOI.
Oh, modern "shows," hear my decree To all your kind I must say "nay."
In Photoplays I'll seek to see Some of the charm of yesterday !
