Flavored with young love and London fog, furnished with an assortment of sweatered rogues talking Cockney out the sides of their mouths, the plot capers at the Bishop's gaitered heels as he discovers that the crime was planned by Hester (Maureen O'Sullivan) and Donald (Norman Foster) to "get back the stolen papers." Walter Connolly made a great success as the Bishop in the Broadway version of Frederic Jackson's play last winter, but it is hard to believe that anyone could be as good as Edmund Gwenn is in this adaptation.

In a literary scene dominated by tales of the barbarism of war and the hopelessness of peace a novel of oldfashioned, happy, romantic love stands out as conspicuously as a shy and innocent girl surrounded by disillusioned dames who have lost more than their youth.
