...first act doesn't prove a great deal. There is one song however, which ought to be given a Pulitzer prize for something or other. Dorothy wilkins, as the opera singer, and John Law take care of it in great shape.

...quite evident that if any get together plans are so be undertaken by the members of the underworld and the rulers of this country the former should have means of keeping in closer touch with each other. An underground telephone service between Cambridge and Chicago, for instance might prove of great use in bringing about that coordination of criminals, which is now so sadly lacking and which stands as a stubborn obstacle in the way of unified crime. We even go so far as to indorse such a service and to offer our plans for the opening ceremonial call...
