...year allowance from an indulgent uncle. Still in his teens, he ran guns for the Carlist forces in Spain, ran into debt, had an affair with a mysterious femme fatale called Rita. An absurd expatriate from North Carolina named Captain Blunt shot and wounded Conrad in a duel over that lady's honor. For no better reason than that he liked the cut of an English jib, Conrad took off for life with the British merchant service...
Ernie Kovacs, 38, is the one television comedian who finds most of his tee-hee in TV itself. He is a big (6 ft. 2 in., 200 Ibs.), messy, cigar-frazzling buffoon who uses cameras, sets, sound effects to make rowdy electronic fun.

Banquo's ghost and Macbeth's horrified reaction to it is brilliant, as is the convergence of enemies on stage around the final duel with MacDuff. The actors played well despite an audience that laughed at murder and sneezed at terror. The set, a few bold pillars of rock and occasional draperies, is combined with splendid lighting to provide a strong yet quickly flexible background for this generally first-rate production...
...play and becomes life. The Harvard Dramatic Club production of Hamlet ends as a success; the miracle takes place--but not until rather late in a very long evening of theatre. This transformation really begins during the grave-digger scene, and reaches its climax in the duel between Hamlet and Laertes. Both scenes are entirely admirable and entirely effective...
