...cadets from The Netherlands Indies in grim trench helmets, a single line of Royal Navy Cadets in parade dress and "100,000 Dutch girls," thousands in national finery-not the everyday Dutch peasant bonnet but the gala holiday bonnet with embroidery and ornaments of actual gold, these representing solid Dutch peasant savings of many lifetimes. In The Netherlands nobody ever snatches or steals such ornaments, and woe to whoever should!

The first scene sees him happily free; the middle of the second act sees him thoroughly enmeshed; the final scene sees him once again disengaged, through no dramatic denouement or artistic solution, but rather through the magical effects of Mr. Cohan's simple integrity, aided...
