He appears, however, as a well-dressed, pol ished though cynical man of the world, who, having an apparently demoniacal insight into the real sentiments of a bank er and his wife, an artist who was the latter's earlier lover, an heiress who is the artist's fiancee, and other charac ters in the play, manages to so shape their affairs as to bring about a number of highly interesting situations, amusing as well as thrilling, all ending, of course, to the satisfaction of all parties concern ed and the delight of the audience.
