Her History and Personality
From time to time there would be sort of a historical piece on Maude Adams, even well before the time of her death, such was her popularity.

It seems to me that the second article is sort of nasty, to say the least.

The first article refers to Maude Adams' sense of humor. The second article is sort of a "she is ours"-type article, but also is one of the only ones to refer to her singing ability. The third article is another one praising her. The fourth article refers to what she likes to eat. Chicken, ok. Raw oysters? Eww. (At least in my opinion, anyhow).
