The Vagabond walked out of a down town gilded cage that purported to be a movie theatre in a melancholy mood. It had been a gangster movie with much scramming, much moiling, much drumming gunfire. In the end the "big shot" got his and the public was taught a grand lesson. As he fumbled in his pocket for a subway dime the Vagabond mused to himself that "There, but for the grace of God, was Charles Dickens". Had Dickens lived today he would have written such things, had he lived a thousand years ago he would have winded East with a Crusade. Since he lived in the Nineteenth century he wrote about corruption in the High Court of Chancery, life in the London slums, death in the sweat shops. But he was a crusader at heart, and as such, his subjects have only a transient value. It is not what he said, but the way he said it, that men remember today.

Today, at two o'clock in Sever 11, the Vagabond will go to hear Hugh Miller talk about Bleak House with dramatic interpretations as embellishments. The book itself is one of the lesser known works of the author, but it has all the style, all the fine drama, all the able characteristics of his more well known works. As for Hugh Miller he has played with Sir Herbert Tree and all the satellites in the English heaven. A short while ago the Vagabond saw him as Jingle in Pickwick and he will personally guarantee any Dicken's performance Mr. Miller sees fit to give.
