...with my many servants, who have never come out frankly on the side they supported so well in fact and action. In some cases, they themselves knew not of my mastership. But millions followed them, thinking, to bring peace through war, temperance through legislation, employment through high wages, morality through censorship, and Americanism through oaths, for teachers. In spite of all the kow-towing, buttering, and boot-licking to abhorrent ends, the balance weighed overwhelmingly with Evil, and that, though not all to a perfectionist, mattered most...

It is the sort of thing that moonfaced Nikita Balieff and Morris Gest first brought to the U. S. in 1922 as the Chauve-Souris and does not suffer greatly by this comparison.
