Meanwhile Sonnie Hale and Miss Matthews feel stirrings of love, not toward each other but respectively toward a princess and her fiance. Amid considerable fun for the audience, Miss Matthews attempts to repair this situation with due regard to decency, the law and her own feelings. Typical shot: the two men and Miss Matthews in male garb, drawing cards to determine who sleeps alone and who shares the double bed in the last available room in a French...

On such a Euclidean axiom James Hanley posits his latest diatribe, in novel form, against the race that calls itself human but shows itself English. Readers who fear the proletarian author even when he is writing about love can safely pocket their qualms: Author Hanley complains of nothing more subversive than the fact that stokers, too, have hearts and flea-bitten wenches can make them bleed...
