...latter exhibition is invariably noteworthy because of its astounding juxtaposition of various forms of Art. Mural decorations, statuary, iron work, factory stacks are united in democratic display. But all this hodgepodge falls into the category of applied art, lending the work a unity and significance particularly interesting to the casual observer. Here one finds that art is ready and eager to invade every field of human activity, social and industrial, awaiting only the growth of an understanding populace...

The former, vaguely recalling the sugar coated capsule fed him by a forgotten history teacher, will go in and out delightedly. The latter, unwilling to be betrayed into a display of unpremeditated emotion, will seek feverishly for flaws. Of these there seems to be an abundance. The scenes were rather obviously made in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of a Hollywood studio. Priscilla is played by Enid Bennett in her best molasses manner. Even the captious, however, must assent...
