Schuyler Van Hyck. who Is described
by his cousin a having "an liallucin-i -timi
that he'- a millionaire" and who
"gees around forming big lempanie"
but I withal "perfectly harmless":
this is pure farce comedy material, and
Its only excuse is that the introduction
of this iharacter adds te the compli
cations and trials of peer Hitlev when
she tries te run her hu-b.'rfid' husiiie-
'affairs. Then. ten. the character of
, Henry the butler, a jailbird taken
en trial, sounds for all the wer.il like
mi creation of M.irv Hrtherts Kltiehart
in one of her farcical mood.
Hut with these limitation (which are
