Show Not So Alluring. Critic Brander Mathews said at a Columbia tea : "Suggestion rather than detail makes the most vivid picture. Detail, Indeed, may spoil a picture completely. "A preacher was describing heaven to a widow whose husband had just died. He said that the separation of dear ones was not for long, and then with elaborate detail he pointed the happiness of those whom death reunites re-unites in Paradise. "When the preacher stopped for breath the widow observed thoughtfully: thought-fully: "Well, I suppose his first wife has got him again, then." |
