...what might have been; to long for the scintillating gleam of a brilliant stage play in the face of a chaos of office-and-bedroom scenes on the screen. Robert Sherwood's sparkling drama of old and New Vienna shall be thought of in terms of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, said he to himself and properties and photography will at last get their share of criticism. But this plan never worked out. With the first scene the reviewer is in the thick of a play which combines the brittle wit of Oscar Wilde with the mellow sentiment...
Lest this be taken as a slight to Lynn Fontanne, let it be said that her rival, Miss Diana Wynyard is neither better nor worse, which means that Diana is now queen of Hollywood's ball room women--there being two classes of actresses at Hollywood, ballroom ladies, and livingroom ladies.

The decor...
Three paid entertainers, brought in to the Boylston Street nightclub to amuse the banqueters, put on a show that was well worth the price of admission. So successful was the performance that it was interrupted by the metropolitan police at a presentation in Lynn the following night. At the bowlers' dinner, however, the act had not developed far, before the dancers were located in the laps of some of the carpenters and electricians. When the jacks of all trades grew tired of this the ladies exhibited risque contentious, which met with riotous applause from the floor...
