Ohio, "Come thunderstorm, war or election, I always go to bed at 9:30 sharp, " said Ohio's small solemn Senator Simeon Davison Fess.

Helen Hayes has the same part in the cinema version- that of Maggie Wylie who marries a solemn young Scot against his will, helps him get elected to Parliament, manages his career for him so unobtrusively that he considers his accomplishments inspired by a glamorous outsider. Only when John Shand (Brian Aherne) tries to get along without Maggie does he begin to realize what she has meant...
