...character actor, George Sanders. Delicately he begins as the solid English bank-clerk husband, who suddenly is transformed into a callous wife-beating artist. And then Sanders has the picture to himself, for he storms through the following scenes with the biting venom of a freed tiger, trampling helter-skelter over lesser beings, tyrannizing those who are attracted to him, kicking away the happiness of those who happen to be in his way.

...farmers' wives, picked by Farm Journal and Farmer's Wife as representatives of the nation, were determined that, as far as they could manage it, the helter-skelter, out-of-kilter of World War I should not happen again. With stout good sense, they therefore agreed that...
