In this picture, Hamilton's adversaries try to trick him into a scandal by sending an adventuress to cajole him into misbehavior. Hamilton is cajoled but he survives the scandal. He even preserves the loyalty of his wife by placing upon her clothes, which she is packing to leave him, a sprig of rosemary. A potent agent in the cinema for what is Good, True & Beautiful, Cinemactor Arliss thus confers a dubious benison on U. S. schoolchildren...
