...runs his cumbrous mill with slave power. Peter Blood is promoted from the mill when he successfully treats the governor's gout, but he does not forget his wretched comrades. Meanwhile his insolence has earned the bitter hatred of Bishop and the affections of Bishop's niece Arabella (Olivia De Havilland...
...pirate craft, turn pirates themselves. With Britain at war with France and James II ousted at home by William of Orange, Blood gets a navy commission, captures a French man-of-war in a tremendous battle. That is enough for him to be appointed Jamaica's governor, to Arabella's delight and her uncle's extreme discomfiture...
Hams, Jokes, Diadems. At the jolly champagne wedding breakfast Best Man Hitler seemed as much out of things as he always does at a party. Wedding gifts ranged from dozens of Westphalian hams to the manuscript of Arabella presented by Opera Composer Richard Strauss. No. 1 Nazi Jew-baiter Julius Streicher, who always does the odd thing, presented a huge volume which he said contains all jokes current in Germany about the bridegroom.

In Rosenkavalier, the most charming and successful of his works, a young Austrian nobleman dresses as a lady's maid, makes a monkey out of a lecherous old baron and after a series of richly comic episodes wins the girl whom the baron intended for himself. Arabella follows Der Rosenkavalier in many of its details. The impecunious old Count puts on a drinking act as blatant if not half so funny as old Baron Ochs's. A richly-scored waltz dominates the second act, laid at a coachmen's ball. Rosenkavalier airs sprinkle the Arabella...
