Four years ago the leaders of the British Labor Party called upon Mr. Fyfe, asked him to do what he could with the then puny Laborite Daily Herald. His success in making that paper the outstanding Labor organ and one of the largest newspapers of Britain has been too often touted to need recapitulation...

Customary society crooks complicate matters before the dowager accepts her daughter-in-law. In all fairness, a good cast does almost make a play out of this. As the titular heroine, Sylvia Field spits and flares conscientiously and with charm. Possible success of the show, however, if any, will redound mainly to the credit...
