...where a few years later he died of tuberculosis, leaving behind a sadly dwindled fortune and two gifted sons. Son Christian (uncle of Christian Archibald) became an eminent New York surgeon-biologist, suggested to John D. Rockefeller the idea of creating the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Strapping son Albert inherited the artistic bent, went to Paris to study painting, grew the inevitable beard, married an aspiring American painter named Adele McGinnis, stayed on in Paris as a bohemian expatriate for several years before going home to the U.S. and a prosperous career as a muralist...
Giggle at First Sight. Young Christian, born to Albert and Adele Herter in Paris, grew to be a strikingly tall, alarmingly thin lad who had to wear hip-high steel leg braces for six years to correct a curvature of the spine-forerunner of the osteoarthritis that was to afflict him in later years.

The pre-occupation with sex makes even the usual Hasty Pudding obsession seem mild, while the amours of various hermaphroditic characters is embarrassingly unfunny. The play's tasteless broadness clashes incongruously with Arthur Honegger's witty and sophisticated score which is its only saving grace...
