- W2791659988 abstract "This chapter is devoted to Max Eastman’s tempestuous relationship with the radical actress Florence Deshon (Florence Danks, 1893–1922). On behalf of the People’s Council of America for Democracy and Terms of Peace, Max lectures at great personal risk to large audiences across the nation against American involvement in World War I. Along with fellow contributors to <italic>The Masses</italic>, he survives two trials for obstructing the military recruitment effort and founds <italic>The Liberator</italic>, with Crystal as co-editor. He pays tribute to Deshon in a second volume of poetry, <italic>Colors of Life</italic> (1918), lives with her in Croton, and, after her move to Hollywood, bombards her with love letters. During a visit he introduces her to Charlie Chaplin as well as to Margrethe Mather, who takes significant photographs of Deshon and Max. Florence has an affair with Chaplin, while Max takes up with the dancer Lisa Duncan. Frustrated with Hollywood and Max, Deshon returns to New York, where she dies, likely by her own hand, on February 4, 1922. Max’s book on <italic>The Sense of Humor</italic> is dedicated to Deshon and evokes her memorable smile." @default.
