...Servant trouble last week compounded the normal confusions, stinks and noises of the world's biggest hotel. In the vast Chicago stockyards, a strike of C. I. O. stock handlers left 17,000 cattle and calves, 25,000 hogs, 10,000 sheep without service and the Chicago Livestock Exchange without a place to trade. Commission brokers and clerks fed & watered the stranded guests. The Exchange could do nothing for itself but suspend trading on the market where farmers sell (and brokers buy for packers and butchers) 13.1% of the cattle, 17.5% of the hogs, 5.3% of the calves...

Henri Garat as the bibulous deity and Armand Bernardas, his more conservative messenger, give brilliant performances opposite Jeanne Boitel and Odette Florelle, two charming citizens of Joinville, whose ardor the Hays...
Lord Howe never gets satisfaction from his Yankee gal, and whether she really loves him or not is a point lost in confusion. Barry Sullivan is an American spy is adequate, and Maxine Stuart as his betrothed is pleasant enough. Eda Heinemann as the matron's servant is the only convincing personality on the stage...
