...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. Mr. Yushny is much the same sort of master of ceremonies as Balieff. Witness the introduction he gives to a Boyar dance number, concluding with the sly information that he did the scenery for that act himself. When the curtain parts a plain velvet drop is revealed...
