...caution was justified not only that first night, but throughout the week that followed. Peru's 144 provinces are divided into 1,500 governing districts, half of them so remote that there is no road to the outside world. As the returns trickled in by horse, burro, llama and boat, each party and every major newspaper interpreted them to suit its fancy...
Pepe (G.S.-Posa Films; Columbia). Cantinflas, the 49-year-old son of a Mexican mail carrier, who in Charlie Chaplin's opinion has become "the world's greatest comedian," is a shy little ragamuffin with wide-apart innocent eyes like a newborn burro's, a mouth like a long, amusing sentence, and a silly little mustache that sets it off in tiny, hairy quotation marks.

Big polo match tomorrow and my horse kicks me if I'm late." "Oh really? My father loves horses...
...trick more often than its competitors like to remember. And more often than not, its secret has been good actors, live performances. Last week it was June Havoc as Momma, Edward Andrews as Dad, and Jane Withers as Momma's sister, who put a lively kick into Pink Burro. In the past, Tallulah Bankhead, Ethel Merman, Maurice Evans, Helen Hayes and Julie Harris handled similar chores. No one on the Steel Hour sees any reason to search for a new formula. Even in the summer, when other shows are sneaking by with reruns, the Steel Hour will remain live...
