...remainder of the cast are obvious tools in the hands of the writers' carefree vein. Arthur Margetson gives a polished performance with plenty of English as the philandering husband of Julia who finally forsakes his "Vermin in Ermine" and returns to the fold. Carl Harbord is thoroughly sufficient as spite-lover of Julia and a young accountant who gets way out of his depth to sink ingloriously in the end. And the rest are all good, heavily-accented English characterizations. It won't be theatre weather when "Theatre" hits New York, but fast lines and a fine cast should hold...

With 70,000,000 Americans still outside any church, the best figure the Mission could claim was 50,000 new members added to the 40,000,000 already within the Protestant fold-a gain of one-eighth of 1%, or about 1% of the Protestant church membership of the cities visited...
...Star had a fighting chance, he got the Guild to agree to 15 economy firings-provided he forked over $7,000 cash severance pay. The Star did not have it. The bank refused to lend it-having already kissed its $100,000 Star loan goodby. The Star decided to fold. Then came a last-minute rescue. When the remaining staff pledged part of what severance pay they would get if the paper later folded, the bank agreed to a loan. Publisher Taylor began thinking about a total tabloid...
