...sleeve as a possible puppet emperor whom she might place on the throne of any part of China which might secede (see p. 19) and prefer a monarchy to a republic. Last week aggrieved Concubine Shu Fei told what life is like at Mr. Pu's queer court...
...heroine (Rose Hobart) is imperiled by the lechery of a brownskin potentate in silk leggings and by the lions, tigers, leopards, boa constrictors, crocodiles and monkeys of a jungle which seems to be more densely populated than a stadium football game and to contain an even larger collection of queer pelts and extraordinary noises.
