Summary
One of the hits of the 1929-30 season in New York, this play brought attention to then-newcomer Bette Davis. It is an amusing picture of a henpecked man with a shrewish wife constantly harping on the man she might've married. Aided by her father, the daughter asserts her independence by wedding a man she loves over her mother's objections. When the mother's "perfect man" from the past reappears, he is a penniless fugitive from justice.
