Greatest Woman
Of Her Time

VI Her Tune
One of the greatest women
Of her time, and, as I be-
lieve, one of the really great
women in American history,
passed, with the death of
Elisabeth Marbury on Sun
day morning. Her genius
was many sided. In the field
Of dramatic art and litera-
ture she was a pathfinder
for not a few great artists
and ,dramatists, for she in
troduced many Of them to
America. She brought Sar-
dou and his plays to us; she
persuaded Barrie to rewrite
"The Little Minister" so it
could be produced here; she
was the initial sponsor of
George Bernard Shaw in
America; Sir Henry Irving
and a long trail Of artists
were her debtors; and she
befriended Oscar Wilde in
the days of his misery in
Paris. The story Of the
American theater cannot be
written without the telling
of her story.
She was a liberal and
among the first of the
women to stand out against
national prohibition. The
first time I saw her was
during her appearance be-
fore a congressional COM
mittee in this connection.
Hers was the greatest,
soundest argument made.
Some men spoke with "femi-
nine emotionalism"; sh e
spoke with masculine
logic"
In politics she was one Of
the greatest influences of
her later years-one Of the
wisest, most penetrating,
most farseeing of the poll
ticians. Her grasp of ma
tional psychology surpassed
that of most. 1t was not
merely feminine intuition
that served her-she faced
facts and reasoned from
them.

more loyal supporter, and
he knew it. In 1928 she

One of my most vivid
memories Of the recent con-

of Elisabeth Marbury being
wheeled into the Seething
hall, and, one of the most
pleasant, that of chats with
her in the midst of turbu-
lent scenes when her sense
of humor was a delight.
Her home at 13 Sutton
Pl. was an oasis in a desert.
There one was always GER
tain to meet people inter-
esting because of accom-
plishment. Her wit, her
humor, occasionally her
satire, irradiated the room.
But she was tolerant and
kindly. To those who knew
her there, in the little room
on the second floor where
she received her guests, and
in the cozy dining room
down stairs looking out
upon a charming garden and
the East River beyond, she
will always be the Marbury
of Sutton Pl. There until the
end she worked and
planned. I have her own
concept of her Eome in a
note written two weeks ago:
II suppose you never
have time for an easy chair
and a smoke. If so, here
is the club house.
Hers was a personality
that never fades from the
memory of those who came
under its influence, and
when she died she literally
was an institution.

Norris Aid to
Roosevelt

Mr., Roosevelt has been re-
ceiving and comforting with
senatorial leaders of the pro-
>gressive group of Republi-
cans, and well he may. No
Democrat contributed more
to his triumph than Norris
of Nebraska. There is no
measuring the benefits that
came from the militant sup
port of johnson of Cali
fornia. The battle against
reactionary policies waged
INCREASINGLY during the last
four years by La Toilette
and the others of this pro-
gressive group had not a
little to do with the mould
ing Of sentiment that made
Roosevelt's victory certain.
They contributed to his cleo
tion because of his pro-
gressive principles and poll
cies and he will want their
support in putting them into
operation.
Among these progressive
Republicans are men who
are Jeffersonians; just as
there are a few among Demo-
cratic leaders who are un-
compromisingly Hamiltonian.
We have reached the point,
because of the existing con-
ditions, where many of us
believe that if our institu-
tions are to be preserved it
must be by going back to
