That life, commingled with a sculptor's (Reginald Gardiner) who models "the essential Caroline" in brass (see cut), turns out to be less exciting than it promises to be. For Director Lewis Milestone has forsaken action for a series of static scenes bowed down under too much talk. The talk is sometimes funny, seldom convincing. But oldtime Actor Colman, now a greying 50, turns in a neat performance in his offhand, sotto voce manner, and England's Anna Lee (in her first big-time U.S. cinema role) is a first-rate Caroline...
Detroit art teacher, who has won ten awards in the last eleven contests. Teacher Anthony is a sure-enough sculptor who has studied under Carl Milles, works not only in soap but in wood, bronze, stone. A soap carving got him his first art fellowship. Sculptor Anthony did his prize-winning piece, a refugee couple bowed under their burdens, in two hours. He took a bar of soap along when he went to visit a friend who had had his tonsils out, whittled away while he talked...
Soap sculpture is popular because it is easy and cheap (only requisites: a bar of soap, a kitchen paring knife, an orangewood stick, a steady hand).

...that air of death, Sculptor Chiapasco took a new lease of life. For the morgue entrance he fashioned a monumental marble of Orpheus (reversing the legend) saying his last farewell to Eurydiceupremum Vale. Death masks were made of every person brought in. Numbered, indexed and neatly mounted on the studio wall, they served as the morgue's photographic file. Profoundly moved by some of these faces, Artist Chiapasco modeled from them his ambitious works. He lined a corridor with bas-reliefs of Pain, Destiny, Love, Will Power, Desire, the faces of which all came from death masks. Sculptor...
