...Minister of the Interior. From the terrace on which he was sitting the ground tapered away into a shadowy skirt of pines, cedar, lindens he had laid out himself - the park. With his Polish land sold, now that Pilsudski was in power there, this place had become to the pianist, far more than his property at Nyon or his ranches in California, important as the background of his comfort. With the effort of his concert tour still a few weeks away, it must have seemed odd to him to find his easy reflection interrupted by a sharp and growing discomfort...
...literary mystery. For Henry Handel Richardson is but the nom de plume of an authoress who conceals her real name. She is a robust, middle-aged London woman, long and strong of face, wife of an able scientist.

By any name it remains a very good farce. It is concerned with the marital infidelities of an elderly and temperamental pianist whose wife gets him back by the not wholly startling method of pretending to be in love with the husband of the blonde he has taken to the mountains. Adolphe Menjou, who talks throughout the picture with a French accent, although in private life his inflection is thoroughly native, makes...
