...lecherous gurgles, dying squawks and goosy yelps that used to be the cheek-in-tongue counterpoint to vaudeville, and burlesque. What makes Lahr the king of clowns is, above all, his masterly word-and-action timing, as when he off-handedly tosses a bag of lead pellets to his Eskimo retinue and says with ineffable Lahrgesse: "Get yourself some chocolate-covered blubber...
