The Progress of Socialism. By F. A. Vanderlip This is a most notable paper in the very remarkable series that Mr. Vanderlip has written on the political problems of Europe. It is not the usual description of the riotous side of socialistic activity; it is a masterly presentation of the spirit of the socialism as it manifests itself in the political fabric of the various nationalities of Europe. Mr. Vanderlip has gathered together a vast amount of material in the way of facts, figures, and photographs, and he has digested this in a paper that for vital interest and significance finds no equal in the literature of the subject.
Italian Recollections. By Mary King Waddington Madame Waddington’s “Letters from England” were a most interesting feature of Scribner’s Magazine a short time ago, and many readers of those papers will find a new delight in her “Italian Recollections.” They are of that individual, personal character that holds and fascinates. The first instalment tells of the arrival of M. and Mme. Waddington in Rome; of the various receptions there, their audiences with the Pope and with the King, and of their many exceptional social experiences and sight-seeing trips. The papers are illustrated from photographs.
The Lights and Stars of Broadway. By John Corbin No one is more familiar with the life of the theatre than Mr. John Corbin, and no writer has given us a more interesting account of the people and things of the stage. In this richly illustrated article he tells of the theatres of New York, and refers to the many varied forms of stage entertainment that light up the pleasure resorts of Broadway. His comments on modern American plays and playwrights, and his forecasts of the future, are most suggestive.
Some Incidents of Western Life: Four Drawings in Colors By C. M. Russell These pictures are a distinct novelty, and disclose a fresh and vigorous figure in art. Mr. Russell has been referred to as “the cowboy artist.” As a matter of fact, he has lived long in the West and knows the life that he depicts from personal experience. His subjects are drawn in the field made familiar by Mr. Remington; but Mr. Russell’s style is his own, and his pictures are vivid and stirring with life.
Mr. Lucille Grand Parker By Juliet W. Tompkins A most amusing story of a meed and lowly husband whose identity is crushed under the weight of his wife’ literary fame. After years of humble endurance he finally has his day, and his enjoyment of it will be shared by the reader. The illustrations by May Wilson Preston are as clever and humorous as the text.
Drawn by A. B. Wenzel.
