Daladier, whom the war strain turned from a fairly pleasant individual into a red-faced, moody old bull, was more taciturn than ever. In the daylight he scrawled a lengthy history...

With his hazel eyes, ruddy cheeks, reddish mustache, and wavy greying hair, he fancies himself as something of a lady-killer. But he is not a mankiller of the old-fashioned Mexican type, and last week cautioned his followers against violence...

First played by the late great Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the deplorably accessible heroine of this Pinero drama has been variously enacted by Eleanora Duse, Olga Nethersole, Gladys Cooper, Ethel Barrymore.
