...respects unique in the U. S. Croton-on-Hudson. N. Y. is a quiet village near Harmon, where New York Central trains exchange steam for electricity. The sprawling, bridge-playing, gin-drinking suburbs of New York have not yet entangled it. In Croton, seven years ago, settled Economist Stuart Chase, his wife Margaret Hatfield, Elizabeth Moos, a former teacher at Walden and other modern schools, and her husband Robert Imandt, violinist, onetime French Army man, camp director. Between them Miss Hatfield and Miss Moos had three children. They wanted to teach them. They went to it in a garage. Soon...

...originality, and an ability to fit the music to the tempo which American films lack. The use of the camera, particularly in the opening scenes showing deck tennis, is equal to Hollywood's best, though not quite up to the standards so definitely set by the serious Germans. In chase scenes, a direct outgrowth of the Mack Sennet tradition, the director outdoes himself in making the sequences, tense with suspense, and in providing that complete ad absurdum which is the essence of true farce.
