...seeing him as General Josiah Limber, the greatest success of his professional career. He shows up in the most ludicrous light the defects in our political system, so that politicians themselves are kept in a constant laughter. The satirical view in which the comedy is written and the clever manner in which the leading character is developed make the entertainment especially attractive. Miss Rush, as Cleopatra Sturgis, the Twentieth Century Woman, is undoubtedly a great success.
