The Curse of Progress in a Political Debate
A fragmented dialogue shows Senator Sorghum and others debating progress and the use of the soapbox for oratory. The exchange hints at laughter, doubt, and concerns about stability as a dormer and blue sky overhead loom over a rural setting.
Fable in Slang by George Ade with Cyril Frappey
A sharp satirical tale about Cyril Frappey a pretentious young man who prizes poise over emotion. He courts Miss Estelle Gimpey with empty charm, meets her scorn, and is dramatically dumped from a fourth story window after a failed attempt at romance. The piece ends with a moral on volcanic passions and a brief note on the eggplant’s Indian origins.
