Synopsis
Drama critic Fitzgerald Fortune buys his wife a player piano as a birthday present, and discovers it has magical properties: its music reveals people's hidden faces. The hard-hearted owner of a curio shop becomes sentimental, and a solemn butler bursts out laughing. Fitzgerald's wife reveals that she detests him for his cruelty. He tries it out on his wife's party guests. A jaded playwright admits to being in love with Fitzgerald's wife, and an fat woman dances gracefully around the room. Fitzgerald announces he's going to reveal the devil himself, delighted, but Esther inserts instead a different piano roll. Fitzgerald shows himself to be no more than a frightened and sadistic child. All of the guests depart, along with Esther. Themes
