The article focuses on the book "Pleasures and Palaces: Memoirs of Princess Lazarovich-Hrebelianovich." These extracts from the memoirs of the Princess, more widely known as Eleanor Calhoun, constitute an exceedingly interesting, naive, and self-revelatory book. A little extravagant at times in their girlish enthusiasm over the new and strange, they are the work of a highly accomplished and capable woman, with uncommon powers of keen and humorous observation and sound reflection. Incidentally, they excite profound regret that an American actress of such notable achievement and promise should have won her chief triumphs abroad and been lost so early to the stage.
