When President Roosevelt had the good judgment to send them Mr. Daniels, Mexicans could see at first only that they were expected to receive the Yanqui* who was Secretary of the Navy when it bombarded Veracruz in 1914.

Cabot Barr--for some reason not entirely clear, the last gentleman--is a crotchety old New Englander, who delights in insulting the lesser members of his family. And it is a compliment to his ability that he can insult them, for they are a pretty scaly lot. His sister Augusta (Edna May Oliver) is a scrawny, self-starting weeper; his only son (Donald Meek) is a fawning, scheming hypocrite, who spends his time making a record...
