Its chief weakness Is the pointless, almost comic-stri- p malice of lis principal character. The fatuous husband of the play Jumps up and down on his mother-in-law- 's picture, keeps negging and browbeating his and it takes all of Mr. wife, Craven's skill at playing the part of a well meaning dumbbell, who remains likeable while always in the wrong, to hold the discriminating spectator's sympathy.
