...Street (RKO-Radio) is a pleasant bit of paranoia that cannot possibly displease anyone, but may baffle some cinemaddicts for a while. It is also the first of Damon Runyon's homely tales about Times Square to be produced...
When Her Highness (Lucille Ball), an imperious nightclub queen, gets publicly slapped downstairs and fetches up at the bottom hopelessly crippled, it looks as if she or Author-Producer Damon Runyon were crazy. It turns out that she is. A doctor explains that Her Highness is a paranoiac, which means, he says, that she wants to be what she can't be, and if she can't be, she will die. So Pinks (Henry Fonda), a lovelogged busboy, takes care...
This harmless charade has a certain honky-tonk charm for which those who liked Damon Runyon's Butch Minds the Baby will be warmly prepared. The talk is the patented Runyon brand of Times Square Swahili, in which a worn-out race horse is "practically mucilage," and marriage is described as "one room, two chins, three kids." There is the usual Runyon corps de ballet of ham-hearted grifters, heisters and passers, played by a friendly crowd of veterans from Hollywood (Eugene Pallette, Louise Beavers) and Broadway (Sam Levene, Millard Mitchell).

...husband. Robert Perry, who directed the play, also acted the part of Stanley Vance, the unattractive, unscrupulous husband, and succeeded in making himself so thoroughly hated that some of the audience applauded his gruesome demise. But the all-important part in the play is that of Jessica's brother, Damon, director and leading man in her new show. Philip Huston appears in this role of a puckish young man taking time off from his women and his beer to straighten out his sister's life. It is the best performance of the evening and will bring great pleasure to every...
