There is one very objectionable spot—where the vamp tells the wife, in the presence of her husband, she seduced hubby and he was merely a "fall guy." The play is not uninteresting, but It is not convincing. None of the characters by word or deed Is able to Justify the points of view, and in the sex tangle they are more polite than emotional. Herbert Marshall plays Chris with a smile upon his face and a manner oh! so nice. Cathleen Nesbitt strug- gles with the wife's arguments, and Talluiah Bankhead vamps valiantly.
