...Frederick March and Florence Eldridge. Mr. March somehow lacks the gusto required of his character, although he is by no means unsatisfactory. And Miss Eldridge has to grapple with a very unrewarding part; she is mainly called upon to interrupt the general's love affairs to moralize about his lust and to arouse his affection by attempting suicide. Two other parts, however, afford rich characterizations for the actresses who play them.

Sloth slept with his eyes wide open in a sticky skein of cobwebs, and Anger was a spiky, comic-book monster which had just smashed a blood-spattered plate-glass window. Lust, the shock of the group-as well as the bottom in bad taste-was a leering, loathsome human figure, festooned with genitalia and en-ries cased in a prophylactic tube...
