...Arvay (Owen Nares) by some clever angling. But the comedy which runs through the entire film is the best feature of the show: Jack Hulbert does magnificently as Hasel, the doorman who, on Wednesday nights, leads the musical society at Schultz's beer garden; Herr Klapper, played by Morris Harvey, is particularly good when trying to talk with a severe cold in his head.

Speeches were always in order?the smooth elegancies of a Davis, the high-flown outpourings of a Harvey, the salty blasts of a Dawes. But Ambassador Mellon is no public speaker. His words are bashful, stilted; his delivery, an awkward, almost inaudible mumble. Pilgrim dinners in London will probably not be so brilliant as they once were...
