"He will and the people will listen," answered the secretary, adding, with the precaution of an old campaigner, "but like all independent, self-reliant men, he has a full set of enemies. Don't forget that." "Enemies? Of course. But so far as I am concerned, he’s good enough for me!" It was the cartoonist speaking again. He and the secretary were driving towards the station whence the train would take Davenport back to New York. There was a long silence, and the cartoonist got out his pencil and sharpened it.

was a habit of his whenever he lapsed into thought. Finally, he repeated the phrase: "He's good enough for me!" It was the title he was destined to give that same night to his opening cartoon in the Roosevelt campaign, a drawing since come to be acknowledged as the greatest vote-making cartoon in all America’s political history. He sat up all night to draw it. The next day it appeared on the front page of the Evening Mail. It showed a full-length picture of Uncle Sam standing behind Roosevelt, with his left hand resting affectionately on the shoulder of the
his left hand resting affectionately on the shoulder of the candidate. It required nothing of one’s imagination. The legend ran: "He’s Good Enough For Me." That line appealed to all the people. It had come to him while driving to the station following his visit with the Rough Rider. The original of that cartoon now hangs in the old home in East Twenty-Ninth Street, New York, where the President was born.

It is admitted that she has developed both to a fine degree. Her contralto voice has been called “golden” by many critics, while her personality has fascinated the greatest artists, composers, and authors of her day. Tonight an
greatest artists, composers, and authors of her day. Tonight an audience at the Salle Comédie in Paris will have an opportunity to judge for itself. It will hear something of her beautiful voice and experience something of her interesting personality. The audience will note that when she sings it will be the mélodies of Debussy, Stravinsky, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Al Jolson. When she recites poetry, it will be from the works of such moderns as Apollinaire, Cocteau, and Yvan Goll. She will complete her program with an autobiographical sketch giving her impressions of America. “Rather an extraordinary concert!”
sketch giving her impressions of America. “Rather an extraordinary concert!” one might say, but Mme. Georgette Leblanc is an extraordinary woman. To understand her, one must know her career. She was born in Rouen (Seine-Inférieure) of an Italian father and a French mother, a descendant of Norman nobility, Blanche de Brohys. The father had made his way from Venice to Paris playing the violin. When he married, he renounced music as a failure and went into commerce. He was determined that none of his children should follow him in art. He did not reckon, however, with the character of his
He did not reckon, however, with the character of his daughter. She met Massenet and Bernhardt and both encouraged her to sing. They even argued with her father, but he was adamant. Early Debut. Evading parental authority, she presented herself at the age of eighteen before the powers at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. She sang for them and told them that she had had dramatic experience, even though she had not, and the result of her audacity was a five-year contract. She made her debut in 1905 in Bruneau’s “L’Attaque du Moulin” and a month later was singing the title

She was determined to go there, because she wished to meet Maurice Maeterlinck. It is needless to say that she went, although it entailed breaking a contract. In Brussels, she sang “Carmen,” “Fidelio,” and “Thais” in such original manner that it was virtually a new creation of the roles. In the meantime, her friendship with Maeterlinck had grown, and when she returned to Paris,
with Maeterlinck had grown, and when she returned to Paris, it was in company with the Belgian poet-dramatist. Together, they created a salon in Passy which drew the greatest artists of the day. It was there that Debussy and Maeterlinck discussed the opera “Pelleas et Mélisande.” There followed such landmarks in her career as a tour of the world with Maeterlinck’s “Monna Vanna,” her success in the United States, particularly in Boston, singing in “Pelléas et Mélisande.” This was before the war. Then came her American tour during the winter of 1923-24 and her Italian tour in 1925. And now,
of 1923-24 and her Italian tour in 1925. And now, she is back in Paris again. She loves America—loves its intensity, its simple directness, its sincerity. She has become a firm disciple of the “jazz” movement. Indeed, her life has shown that she is inclined to be ahead of the times. Her next step will be to organize a club, called “L’Art Machine.” Its members will, of course, be the ultimate modern of all countries. And all the while, she is doing things on the side. She occasionally acts for the cinema, occasionally writes an article, and within a year,

For Vincent Lopez knows a lot more tricks than just ladling out syncopation. In fact, the boy practices several of the arts. He writes magazine articles and illustrates his typewriter stuff with
He writes magazine articles and illustrates his typewriter stuff with rather sharp caricatures. Vincent’s gallery of satiric portraits includes his jazz colleague, Paul Whiteman; Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Jack Dempsey, and other practitioners of the high and low arts. Today Robbia manages to divide his time equally between the tennis courts and the typewriter, and apparently with equally good results.

Clara Clemens is giving her own dramatic version of her father’s “Jean of Arc” at Hampden’s Théâtre, thereby presenting the first professional by-product of a personal habit in the home of Mark Twain. For it was the amiable custom of that family, whenever conversation lagged one evening, to break into a suddenly-improvised theatrical version of one of her father’s books with a cast enthusiastically headed by the author. Undoubtedly the pressure of those memories was in this daughter’s mind and
pressure of those memories was in this daughter’s mind and induced her to bring, with the assistance of Mr. Donald Haines, the shadowy figure of Mark Twain’s Joan to life before the footlights of New York. Not that this finished version can, strictly speaking, be called a drama. The original idea was to give what is somewhat vaguely called a dramatic reading of the lines through which Mark Twain interpreted the agonies and ecstasies of the Maid of Orléans. But the project somehow became surrounded with costumes and scenery and ten vignettes with Miss Clemens as Joan. She is supported
ten vignettes with Miss Clemens as Joan. She is supported by the somewhat bewildered members of the Hampden company. In spite of the appealing figure made by this new Joan and all the earnestness of the effort, one is forced to the conclusion that the original idea of a dramatic reading was wiser after all. Although the lines were all Mark Twain’s, their arrangement failed utterly to give the simplicity and poignant power of this book, which the author always considered his masterpiece, though few of his admirers have concurred in this belief. And “Pomeroy’s Past,” the first Clare Kummer
