"The last sense to die is pride, be-
cause it was the first virtue. Every
thing that has an ego has pride, in
fact, the ego itself is a manifestation of
pride. The most subtle form of pride
is the humility that prides itself upon
being without pride" These are the
words of Ebert Hubbard, the famous
Philistine, and it is positively known
to the author that he wrote that para

formance ofJustin Huntley McCarthy's
successful drama, "The Proud Prince"
