Each month, Theater of the Apes plucks a long forgotten volume from the shelves of the New York Society Library to resurrect as a one-night-only NYC variety show. This month: Wooings and Weddings in Many Climes by Louise Jordan Miln (1900)

Marriage by capture is the oldest of the three marriage methods still extant – the three classes into which all today’s marriages may be divided: “marriage by capture,” “marriage by purchase,” and “marriage by fascination.” Man at first caught and captured his wife; then he grew refined and bought her; at last he grew truly nice (as -need I say it? – he still is) and wooed and won her, tenderly and meekly. So runs the tale, at least.
– From the book, 1910
