...cast did not always do so well: the three weird sisters, along with many of the supporting players, often seemed as drowned in gibberish as in mist. For next season, Evans and Schaefer are thinking of deserting Shakespeare for Shaw: Evans has already taken TV options on The Devil's Disciple and Man and Superman...
...earliest Hemingway-the versatile, outdoors-loving son of respected Dr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Hemingway. Later Oak Park's people wondered, as one of them put it, "how a boy brought up in Christian and Puritan nurture should know and write so well of the devil and the underworld." (He was born a Congregationalist, became a practicing Roman Catholic, now apparently does not go to church).

...hero of the film--if it has a hero--is a little street urchin, Pedro, whose fault is to ally himself with an equally miserable delinquent, Jaibo, who becomes his personal devil. "Born but to die, and living but to err," Pedro is a picture of the frustrated potentiality which is typical of the characters in the movie. When he wants to become a "good boy," his mother throws him out into the street; when he stops Jaibo from beating a friend over the head, the friend is already dead. When he gets a job, Jaibo causes him to lose...
