Briefly the plot has to do with the machinations of the mistress (Dorothy Stickney) and her cohort (Lulla Gear) in trying to get the husband (Neil Hamilton) to divorce the wife (Jean Dixon). Since the management takes great pains to shroud the denouncement in secrecy, I would't give it away; suffice it to say that it is unrealistic and unsatisfying. The acting was on the whole good, particularly that of Miss Stickney and Mr. Hamilton, until the last act when no one quite seemed to know what the author had in mind. Donald Oenslager's one set was admirable...

Yet his rugged features and stature, by the slightest change of movement, convey grief, irony, and happiness. This physical containment, especially in the scenes where he moves in "the other world" creates a breath-taking tension. The characters of Death (a women) and the chauffer enter this world they see one another in the rear-view mirror of the Rolls Royce in the same constrained manner...
...coup had been smoothly engineered by France's new Resident General in Tunisia, Jean Marie François de Haute-cloque, an idealistic onetime soldier and longtime diplomat, who, as a French representative in the Levant, saw France lose Syria and Lebanon in the dark days of World War II. In Tunisia, since the bloody riots last January, he had seen sabotage flicker over the country like heat lightning.
