"The Victoria, at
a bird’s eye view, looks like a big
twinkling pearl, all white and gold with
the opals of electricity studding it in
profusion… Gorgeous carpets, splendid
lounges and all the ultra-elegance the
metropolis loves were to be seen
everywhere."

"In Resurrection
as Prince Vladimir, he swept all before
him and gave one of the few very great
performances of the year. His
magnificent work that night – and old
stagers who had watched his work for a
quarter of a century said that he had
surpassed himself – was a resurrection
in more senses than one. It made New
York playgoers realize for one thing how
rarely nowadays a great actor is heard
or seen."
