...melodrama is broken up by interlarded discussions of each move from angle before it is made until one is tempted to agree heartily with Studdenham that if someone doesn't say something we're going to get nowhere. The difficulty with the "Eldest Son" from the average American view-point perhaps explains why the presentation at the Copley is the "first performance in this country". It is difficult to convince an American audience of the reality of a problem in which deep-rooted and time-rotted caste distinctions loom to such large proportions.

And, if anyone is offering odds, wouldn't you like to wager a little that it all sprang out of a cookie jar incident...
...America is planning to step in and referee the matter. A loan of a billion and a half dollars to help the struggling mark get on sol'd land is being contemplated. But France pooh-poohs our offers of assistance; she knows that Germany doesn't need it. Only a general German reversal of attitude will clear the skies. Premier Cuno, an honorable man apparently, has foresworn the policy of his predecessors.
