But' Tom thinks he is right, inasmuch as he is already in love with the vivacious chorus girl, and he decides

he will leave nothing undone in his

efforts to prove to Joan that the marVriwl state is the only state. In the *** ehauing sequences, which move rapidly toward a satisfactory h«t altogether surprising climax.'
