...casting of Margalo Gillmore as the full-blown, romantic Mary Philipse. As Washington, Philip Merivale is close to perfect. Mr. Merivale is the greatest cloak-swinger on the U. S. stage. He swung one in The Road to Rome (1927-28). He swung another in Death Takes a Holiday (1930-31). He swung a third in Mary of Scotland (1934). His melancholy face with its skin stretched across the cheekbones like rawhide on a saddle frame, his clipped speech and full-stopped voice make him ideal for impersonating tragic historical figures.

Carter, producer) is an amateur effort to make a farce of an amateur kidnapping. A cowardly young hobo named Jim Hipper (Burgess Meredith) perpetrates the crime, but his victim is a tougher and slicker criminal than he. In the process of trying to get ransom without calling in the police, the kidnappee gets half a dozen characters and a hopelessly complicated situation on the stage...
