...supplies the framework of the great German actor's first U. S.-made film.* It concerns one August Schiller, who flourished in Milwaukee back in the days when gentlemen associated that town with beer, and when ladies carried muffs.

Saint Simeon was actuated by religious aspirations; the present marvel of Newark...

The rest of the characters are so implicitly concerned in one another's actions, each is so much a pillar in the last year of the 19th Century, separate catastrophe would be impossible. Total catastrophe trembles above them like a paper cutter on a thread when Dexter Manford arranges things so that he can, without Jim, have Lita as a guest in his country home. A triviality twists the weapon...
