...that morning, after long questioning, Tapper Ryan asked permission to use a ladies' washroom near the mayor's office. Leaving his hat and coat on a chair, the tap expert beat it out a back window of City Hall and got clean away.

With his insane leer and try-anything manner, Caesar can act out an entire horse opera singlehanded-from horses to Indian smoke signals to bullets ricocheting off a rock. Rubber-faced Imogene Coca is just as funny modeling a moulting fur coat as she is imitating what Broadway columnists sometimes call a "chantootsie." Bouncy Mary McCarty can tear apart a popular song with fine abandon or imitate a female wine-taster getting drunk on the job.
