Veola Vonn as "Lady Zelda..."

She immediately recognizes Sach as a sap she can play for a fool...

She arranges for a tete-a-tete...

When she refers to him as "my little sparrow" Sach starts jumping about the room, fluttering his arms, and it becomes apparent the writers of Mr. Terrific were inspired by this performance, and that Joan Huntington is copying Veola Vonn who was copying Zsa Zsa Gabor, which better explains why Joan Huntington seems so incredibly unreal...
