...this. John Tatlock as Schweyk and Gerard Shepherd as his gluttonous companion Baloun are admirable, though I wished in each case for certain qualities of size, and especially of what can only be called earthiness--which only actors of considerably more age and experience can be expected to convey. Among the ladies, Jan Gough does especially well as as Frau Anna Kopecka: her presence is grand although some of her readings could be sharpened in urgency.

The following day, he finished three more. The collage that was finally chosen shows President Johnson framed by a raggedly outlined bomb. The red octagonal shape that makes up the background is the familiar roadside stop sign...
