"President Parkman's son killed," shriek press headlines, cinema reels, radio announcers. The cinema is interpolated into the second act, revealing the wheels of propaganda at work, affording respite to taut nerves in the audience. Martin Henderson is filmed "Enlisting with Uncle Sam at a dollar a year." In the end, young Parkman turns up, only wounded. The band plays "The Star-Spangled Banner" to a happy curtain...
