...ceased to shout his scorn of every other painter in the world, his disdain of every art gallery that does not recognize the importance of his work. But he stopped painting in 1920. A few have suspected that he realized then that his pictures of Samoa, his ruins by moonlight, his strange nude ladies bathing in improbable streams were as far as he could go. Last week he grew suddenly frank with his press agent. "I won't paint again," said Louis Eilshemius, "I'm just a comedian...

...this is a far?and very merry?cry from the sort of thing one has grown to expect of Playwright Benn W. Levy (Mrs. Moonlight, Art & Mrs. Bottle). And his comedy is populated by four of the most pleasant players now to be seen: wide-eyed Helen Chandler (rescued from Hollywood) ; facile Leslie Banks (late of tragic Lean Harvest) ; handsome Frieda Inescort (she has toured with George Arliss); and Nigel Bruce, the funniest man to be discovered by Manhattan theatregoers since Guy Kibbee was brought to light as a mortuary supply salesman in Torch Song last year.
