Shakespeare. This charming comedy embodies some of the most beautiful and idyllic of the great poet's thoughts. It is, moreover, one of the most de- lightful of his acting plays. It tells how the Duke of Athens and his Court celebrated his nuptials with Hippolyta by four days of revels; how Quince, and Snug, and Bottom, and other artisans, undertook to enact the play of "Pyramus and Thisbe" for the entertainment of the Court; how Oberon, the king of the fairies, and Puck, his attendant, took part in the revels and played pranks with all the characters, by causing the identity of all to become confused, whereby en- sued much mystification until such time as King Oberon caused the scales to fall from their eyes. Kong Tolv: By Dinah Maria Mulock Craik. Imagination has peopled the woods, the waters, the earthy and the air with superhuman beings, with genii, fairies, water-sprites, nixies, gnomes and kobolds. Invisible to human eyes, they come and go unseen, living their lives in worlds which humanity cannot enter. The legendary lore of all people and tongues is replete with tales of the doings of these unseen folk. The beautiful story of "Undine" tells how a water-sprite dwelt among mankind and partook of its life. The story of King Tolv tells how a mortal maiden was loved by the Elle-King and became his bride, Queen of the Elves of the Hill, and dwelt for years in the shining palace built by the gnomes far under- ground; how a child, half-human, half- fairy, was CRITICAL SYNOPSIS OF SELECTIONS born unto her; how she yearned for her old home; how the children of the fairies, born without souls, have no hope of heaven; and how she sought to win a soul for her child at the price of her own life. Songs of the Fairies: Under this general title has been brought to- gether a number of tales in verse of the doings of the fairy folk—a favorite theme of legend, song and story. Bishop Percy gathered together in his "Reliques" a great mass of ballads and folk-songs, unwritten, but transmitted verbally from genera- tion to generation of the common people. From these have been gleaned two songs that tell of the doings of "Queen Mab" and "Robin Goodfellow." Mary Howitt's beautiful lyric. "The Isles of the Sea Fairies," is a charming poetic fancy; "The Kel- pie of Corrievreckan" is a weird ballad by Charles Mackay that tells the fate that befel a mortal maiden, beloved by the baneful sea-kelpie; William Allingham's dainty poem, "The Fairies," sings of the doings of the little people of mountain and glen; which are likewise the theme of Professor John Wilson's charming little lyric. The Culprit Fay: By Joseph Rodman Drake. "There are no fairies in America." Words somewhat like these led Joseph Rodman Drake to write the beautiful poem, "The Culprit Fay," one of the most charming of fairy stories. The fay has loved a mortal maid, inexorably forbidden by the law of fairyland. He is doomed to suffer for his offence; banished from fairyland, he may not return until he shall have caught a rainbow droo flashing from the spray of the sturgeon's swift leap and rekindled the spark of his torch by the flaming trail of the shooting star. Deep in a moonlit woodland glade, the fairies swarm to hear the sentence; again they gather to celebrate with gladness the return of their victorious brother fay. I. The Daisy: By Hans Christian Andersen. Many of the world-renowned fairy stories of Hans Christian Andersen are so simple in struc- ture, so devoid of incident, that synopses of them CRITICAL SYNOPSIS OF SELECTIONS are barren and trite to the last degree. Their charm is in their delicacy of thought and beauty of sentiment—the qualities that pervade the two dainty little stories which we have selected. "The Daisy" tells of a humble flower that was happy amid the green grass, thankful for sunlight and dew, and filled with joy at the sing- ing of the lark; how the gorgeous garden flowers, which it had envied, were cut down and borne away, because of the brilliancy, while the hum- ble daisy was unnoticed, because of its insignifi- cance; and how t finally, the bit of turf in which it grew was lifted and placed in the cage where the lark, now made captive, was confined; how the flower comforted the bird; and how both died together. II. The Fir Tree : By Hans Christian Andersen. The story of "The Fir Tree" tells how all the other trees in the forest were happy and found pleasure in their lives. The fir tree, alone, was filled with envy. He wished to grow great; he heard from the storks and the cranes stories of the world, of fir trees that became the masts of ships and sailed across the seas. The little birds told him of Christmas revels and how fir trees, blazing with wax tapers and laden with beautiful things, held the place of honor in the great hall at the castle; and he murmured because he was left in his place. But finally he felt the axe; he was to become a Christmas tree, and for the first time he felt chill and dread. When he was adorned with lights and held the place of honor, surrounded by a gay throng, he became arrogant, thinking that at last his ambition was to be grati- fied. Finally, stripped of his lights and orna- ments, tossed contemptuously into the darkness of the garret, to become dry and withered, and then chopped into firewood and fed to the flames, he learned the fate of over-weening ambition. The Pied Piper of Hamelin: By Robert Browning. This famous ballad tells how the people of the town of Hamelin, in Brunswick, suffered from a horde of rats; how a strolling wizard engaged to Vol. 6—i v CRITICAL SYNOPSIS OF SELECTIONS deliver the townspeople from their pest; how he played a magical tune upon his pipes; how the rats followed the sound of the magic music in droves and were led thereby to plunge into the river, where all were drowned save one; how the sorcerer then demanded payment, which was re- fused; and how he piped a tune, which drew after him, dancing and singing in glee, all the children of the town, despite the frantic pleas of their parents; and how the rocky front of the Koppel- berg opened wide and the conjurer and the train of children entered and were nevermore seen. Through the Looking Glass: By Lewis Carroll. There are two famous nonsense books called "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass." In these books everything impossible happens. They embody the genius of absurdity. They tell how Alice went through the looking- glass, what she found there, and what she saw and did in Wonderland. The judicious reader who desires a synopsis is referred to the story. In the words of Sir Lucius O'Trigger, "explain- ing it would only spoil it." Editor. BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF AUTHORS Allingham, William: An Irish poet, born 1828; died 1889. His charming little lyric, "The Fairies," is universally known, and has place in every an- thology. His numerous other poems have had less currency. They are comprised in the several vol- umes, "Poems" (1850); "Day and Night" (1854), etc. Andersen, Hans Christian: This noted Danish novelist and poet was born at Odense, Denmark, 1805 ; died at Copenhagen, 1875. He is best known to English readers through his "Fairy Tales," pub- lished in 1836—a series of beautiful apologues, which have been translated into many languages. In his early years he was an actor and dramatist. His principal novels are "The Improvisator" (1830), followed by "Only a Fiddler.' Browning, Robert: (For Biographical Note see Vol. II., "Famous Tales of Heroism.") Carroll, Lewis: This is a pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, an English clergyman, who wrote several serious and abstruse works on mathematical science, and two famous nonsense books for children, which have also delighted a great audience of mature and critical readers. They are remarkable for their ingenious absurdity and sparkling wit. Mr. Dodgson was born 1832, and died 1899. Craik, Dinah Maria Mulock (Mrs): An English authoress of prominence, more commonly known as Miss Mulock. She was born at Stoke-upon- Trent, 1826; died in Kent, 1887. Her most notable novels were written before her marriage to George Lillie Craik, in 1865.

Other visits followed and he soon realized that great possibilities lay in the State. He saw Florida as a virtual wilderness and determined to do something about it. Flagler made no vain boasts about what he would do, but soon he began to channel money into the State, and before his death in 1913 he had spent nearly $50,000,000 building hotels and rail- roads along the Florida East Coast.' His money had been made when he began to invest in Florida at the age of fifty-five, and though his enter- prises there were based partially on a business basis, the greatest motive behind his new venture was the desire to satisfy a personal ambition.

There's no excuse to offer for this book Save that, perhaps, of one man's vanity; And that's a thing at which you ought to look With calm and undisturbed urbanity. A favor, though, the bard would ask of you When his conclusions you're disposed to doubt, Believe that as he wrote he thought 'twas true He thought he knew the things he wrote about.

IN a foreword, written for an edition of Mr. Gil bert s poems, published in 1894, I said: " Life on the Isthmus of Panama has some in teresting and peculiar features. The geographical isolation being practically complete, except by sea, it follows that a narrow strip of country along the Panama Railroad is all that modern civilization can boast of having captured. Nor is there evidence that any astonishing advances have yet been made within even this limited zone. The jungle still holds sway and defies the schoolmaster. " Among those who have from time to time held official positions in the different companies, or who have engaged in other business pursuits, there has now and then been one who has caught the spirit of the place and has had the surprising energy to write interestingly of his surroundings.

  • Lays O' the Hameland
    — PREFACE D^AR Reader : As you peruse the following verses, your attention will doubtless be drawn to one thing at least, namely: the simplicity of the language used in their composition. To be entirely frank with you, this has always been my intention; because, when I first started to write, I thought it better to speak in the plain doric or language of the common people. True, it may not be considered classical Scotch, but is as near to that which is used gen- erally as I could possibly write it. It has been my effort to strike a happy average, remembering that "oor ain folk" in some localities in Scotland have their own peculiar forms of speech and exp/ression. I have also interjected here and there some poems in English, which it is hoped may lend a pleasing variety to the book. I have studiously avoided using words or phrases that might lead one away from the standard of life with which, I may say, I have always been associated. It has always been an unwavering principle with me to call things by that name in which they are best known, and not to inject into this edition of verses meaningless, high-flown technicalities, which might have a tendency to mislead some from the true meaning of what it was intended to convey; so much so, indeed, that in writing, I have never lost sight of the fact that my humble efforts have been always to please those people who are used to the plain, every-day, simple life, which is undoubtedly the most beautiful and beneficial, not only to those who hve it, but to the world.

Of willow buds, sap and tears, There’s a far, far call. And the fleecy sky Flute-sweet and small, Gives promise shy Like the song of new sap in the tree. Of the "country that knows no fears." There’s a restless joy, And my heart feels tied And a glad, dull ache, And calls out to be free, And a longing to understand For it longs for the woods and the earth, The meaning that lies And a fire’s soft light In butterflies, In the velvet night And sunsets, and stars, and sand. When dreams dare bloom to birth. I must go with the pull That has hold of my heart; I must touch the warm earth and be free And I have no choice But to follow the voice Of the haunting joy-to-be.

    12/4/2020 Florence Lawrence – Women Film Pioneers Project Florence Lawrence Also Known As: Florence Annie Bridgwood, “Flo” Lawrence, “The Biograph Girl," Mrs. Harry Solter, Mrs. Charles Woodring, Mrs. Henry Bolton. Lived: January 2, 1886 - December 27, 1938 Worked as: film actress, producer, theatre actress Worked In: United States by Kelly Brown Florence Annie Bridgwood, usually known as “Flo” Lawrence, was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, on January 2, 1886. Her mother, Charlotte Bridgwood, was a stage actress known professionally as Lotta Lawrence, and was the manager and leading lady of the Lawrence Dramatic Company (Holland 386). Flo’s childhood, consequently, was spent on the touring road and on the theatrical stage. She began her career in the motion picture industry with a role in an Edison Company short, Daniel Boone/Pioneer Days in America (1907), an account of which is given in her autobiography, Growing Up with the Movies, serialized by Photoplay in four parts. Both mother and daughter appeared in Daniel Boone as well as in Vitagraph’s adaptation of Irish playwright Dion Boucicault’s 1874 theatrical melodrama as The Shaughraun, an Irish Romance (1907), but Lotta soon returned to the stage. Flo’s motion picture career, in contrast, had just begun. Lawrence found her next job at the Vitagraph Company of America, where she worked with the company cofounder J. Stuart Blackton and with the stage actor-turned-director Charles Kent (Brown 14–16). At the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company, Lawrence appeared in most of the sixty short motion pictures that D.W. Griffith directed in 1908, his second year with the company (Holland 389).
