Fortunately for Feinstein (sounds like Einstein), a lot of other people want to hear those old show tunes too. In the past year, since he opened at Manhattan's venerable Algonquin Hotel, he has become the brightest, newest star on the high-class cabaret circuit. He made a cameo appearance in February on NBC's The Two Mrs. Grenvilles -- as a nightclub singer of the '40s -- and he has performed at the White House; the current tenant is a fan.

There is a real Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and a fake ("Heini Baum, Jewish actor and cabaret performer from Berlin and proud of it"), both of whom suggest James Mason in the title role of The Desert Fox. There is an Allied intelligence agent living hazardously as a German officer; Christopher Plummer lounged through just such a role in Hanover Street. A heartbreakingly young and beautiful Englishwoman (already...
