[39] When Mr. Fox followed the trail of the Goebel tragedy he was poaching upon the especial preserves of Miss Eleanor Talbot Kinkead, whose romance of the "autocrat," The Courage of Blackburn Blair (New York, 1907), was widely read and reviewed. Miss Kinkead was born in Kentucky, and, besides the story mentioned above, is the author of 'Gainst Wind and Tide (Chicago, 1892); Young Greer of Kentucky (Chicago, 1895); Florida Alexander (Chicago, 1898); and The Invisible Bond (New York, 1906).

[51] Ernest ("Pat") Aroni, was far and away the finest dramatic critic Kentucky has produced, and a delightful volume of his work could be gathered from the files of The Courier-Journal. Mr. Aroni's fame has lingered in Kentucky in a rather remarkable manner, as he never published a book or wrote for the magazines. He is now chief editorial writer on The North American, Philadelphia.

[60] Mr. Opp was dramatized by Douglas Z. Doty, a New York editor, and presented at Macaulay's Theatre, in Louisville, but it was shortly sent to the store-house. Mrs. Wiggs was put into play-form by Mrs. Anne (Laziere) Crawford Flexner, in 1904, with Madge Carr Cook in the title-role. Mrs. Flexner was born at Georgetown, Kentucky; educated at Vassar; married Abraham Flexner of Louisville, June 23, 1898; lived at Louisville until June, 1905, since which time she has spent a year in Cambridge, Mass., and a year abroad; now residing in New York City. She has written two original plays: A Man's Woman, in four acts; and A Lucky Star, the fount of inspiration being a novel by C. N. and A. M. Williamson, entitled The Motor Chaperon, which was produced by Charles Frohman, with Willie Collier in the steller part, at the Hudson Theatre, New York, in 1910. She also dramatized A. E. W. Mason's story, Miranda of the Balcony (London, 1899), which was produced in New York by Mrs. Fiske in 1901. Mrs. Flexner is the only successful woman playwright Kentucky has produced; and it is a real pity that none of her plays have been published. Mrs. Wiggs has held the "boards" for eight year; and it seems destined to go on forever.

[96] Mr. Musgrove, who is to leave The Post at the end of 1912 to become humorist editor of The Louisville Times, was born in Kentucky, and is the author of a charming volume of verse, The Dream Beautiful and Other Poems (Louisville; 1898). He is to issue in 1913 another book of poems, through a Louisville firm, to be entitled Pan and Aeolus. When Mr. Musgrove joins The Times he will take The Post's clever cartoonist, Paul Plaschke, with him; and they will occupy an office next to Colonel Henry Watterson's in the new Courier-Journal and Times building.

[98] There are two other young women poets of Louisville who should be mentioned in the same breath with Miss Gilmore: Miss Ethel Allen Murphy, author of The Angel of Thought and Other Poems (Boston, 1909), and contributor of brief lyrics to Everybody's Magazine; and Miss Hortense Flexner, on the staff of The Louisville Herald, whose poems in the new Mammoth Cave Magazine have attracted much attention. Miss Flexner is to have a poem published in The American Magazine in 1913.
