While gendarmes and French soldiery scoured the Riviera for spawn of Communism cast out by Italy (who must, said Frenchmen, have been the dastards that bombed Legion trains last fortnight), Retiring Commander Howard Paul Savage and some 200 American Legionaries specially picked for their ability to commerce in goodwill, entered the cavernous railroad station at Genoa...
...Leiber's characterizations of Hamlet is impressive and forceful, and he does not endeavor so to emphasize his role as to throw the other characters unreasonably into the background. On the contrary his supporting cast contributes greatly to the excellence of his own interpretation of Hamlet, Louis Leon Hall and Irby Marshall as the king and queen being particularly satisfactory.

Mr. Huston is more than excellent; one feels, as depth after depth of his characterization unrolls, that his conduct in each successive scene is the logical sequal to what he has done and said before. John Irwin, as the son ignorant of the ways of the world, much more so of the ways of carnival dancers manages to be unsophisticated without being simple. Eleanor Williams, as the girl Nifty cast...
