"Phil is a deliberate, easy-going mortal, whose chief weakness is reading the comic section of 'The Boston American.' Occasionally he does break away from his recital of jokes long enough to write a would-be humorous tale for 'The Arcturus.' For all his faults he might have become a man, but he has recently fallen before the charms of the fair sex, not one, but all; not a particular star, but any that will shine on him. This is so foreign to P. Roach's make-up that it must seem like a nightmare. We trust he will awake before it is too late."
