In a mock trial to raise funds for King Edward's Hospital Fund, Lord Riddell, newspaper proprietor, in a white top hat, with a bottle of port at his elbow, sat in judgment upon Actresses Gladys Cooper, Viola Tree, Lilian Braithwaite and Elizabeth Pollock, whom Author John Drinkwater, as prosecutor, sought to convict of "practicing undue domesticity and so neglecting their art."

Said Clarence ("Piggly Wiggly") Saunders, twice bankrupt chainstore tycoon, as he saw his $500,000 Memphis estate auctioned off for $92,000: "I've lived in cottages before and can again."
