The article focuses on biographical sketches of Francis Neilson, a noted figure that shook twenty century. He had been a laborer, actor, journalist, dramatist, novelist, lecturer, politician and producer. Francis Neilson was born in Birkenhead, across the River Mersey from Liverpool, England in 1867. He came of an ancient English family and an old Scottish family. He was a Butters, a family that lived in England, the name is found among others familiar in Saxon times in the Domesday Book of William the Conqueror. An ancestor on this side was associated in the publication of the first modern newspaper. What his career has amounted to up to now, however, can be set out briefly as an effort to socialize the heritage of beauty and an attempt to realize a social order based on justice. Books, like man's other deeds, often outlive their creators. It is much too early to try to discover how far Neilson's effort and attempt have succeeded. It can be said that for the truth that is in him, at 80, he is still fighting valiantly, still waging an epic fight that for those who have come after remains an inspiration-and a source of hope.
