George Hunt is particularly entertaining as Prince Dauntless the Drab, the weak-willed mother's boy in search of a wife and a way to untie the apron strings.

Through the upper boxes paraded soldiers and Aztec natives on their way to destiny. Behind scrims and translucent screens soldiers fought silhouetted battles that suggested endless depth...
