...contrasting role of the clowning Clarion, Caudle is excellent, although the depth of his character is not made as apparent as it might be. Clad in a Pittsburgh Pirates cap and a matching outfit of sneakers, yellow Bermuda shorts, cheap black imitation kimono, and Hawaiian-print shirt. Caudle stands out against the simple costumes of the rest of the cast.

Many young women in the choir, clad in orange dresses and white headbands, wept along with him. As Graham quietly thanked Konovalchik, a clergyman who had come from Moscow strode to the pulpit to offer a prayer: "You shed your blood for Russia too, O Lord. We pray that a surge of revival may start in this house...
