...terrific things about this double bill is that most of the actors in the first play return for the second. Orion Ross sheds the stuffy English character to stand out as the cutie pie-Casanova who bunny hops his way around the stage, causing Princess Huncamunca (Jennifer Gibbs) to lustily gnaw away at her sheets. Also in pursuit of the tiny Tom is the Amazonian Queen Glumulca (Margaret Meserve), who effectively vents out her sexual trustrations by devouring whole cabbage heads and stomping around the kingdom in her funky metallicized platform shoes...
Score yet another triumph for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's very own Casanova of cocaine. Over the past 1 1/2 years, the handsome 34-year- old Cuban emigre has used a turn-'em-on and turn-'em-in technique to entice some 18 Florida and New Jersey women into setting up drug deals that led to their arrest. Instead of targeting street-level dealers and wholesale drug salesmen, Portell promised love and occasionally marriage if the women, most with no prior criminal record, would only set up a cocaine buy.

If she can find him, 20 years later, perhaps she can reclaim the dreams of her youth and get a first grip on maturity. "Come soon," she whispers through the mirror to her onetime son and would-be lover. "Come...
...with the light, self-deprecating tilt to his wit that royalty wears so well. The face wears well too. At 63 it has settled into a comfortable handsomeness. Today Mastroianni is exhausted from too many interviews on this Manhattan visit to promote his film Dark Eyes. But like a Casanova tantalized by the inevitability of one more conquest, he will of course accommodate another visitor. It is his pleasure and his business to walk onto the stage of a magazine page, to tell the familiar stories and improvise new ones. So the graceful hands sculpt air to illustrate a point...
