Elinor Glyn was hired to make up some thing about a bride who gets out of her husband's stateroom on the wedding morning, but the plot is halfhearted, as though its famed authoress were conscious that her fatuities were required simply for the sake of convention.

Last week when Mr. & Mrs. Fairbanks (Mary Pickford) left Hollywood for Manhattan, Jokester Grauman hired Jo-Jo, a trained cinema goose whose accomplishments are worth $25 a day; dressed him fastidiously, left him in the Fairbanks stateroom with a message wishing the couple "a goose of a good time."

Hoyt Jr., had committed suicide eight years ago; his sisters are Nancy Hoyt, writer of sophisticated fiction (Roundabout, Unkind Star), and Elinor Wylie, poetess (Nets to Catch the Wind), novelist (Jennifer Lorn...
...when lo! stealing a walk on the first class promenade, he encounters Cynthia, who announces her engagement to someone else. Demarest slinks back to his own deck writes Cynthia a series of decreasingly abject letters, none of which he sends, and before docking has let Mrs. Faubion enter his stateroom. Flood novel technique not only permits but requires an immense quantity of flotsam and jetsam. The writer may, and must, sub merge himself and watch, like a submarine artist, for a phantasma goria of mental and emotional proceedings in his characters, distort ed by their depth into shapes of beauty...
