ALSO IN A Stetson was Peter Lempert as the Spartan Herald. No doubt his comic ability was aided by a ludicruous eighteen-inch (one presumes, fake) erection, but he would have cut a convincingly ridiculous figure anyway. Cinesias, as a deprived husband, must be a pathetic combination of exasperation, desperation, fury, and, of course, horny as hell. John Pieters does a very convincing job; he brought back those golden high-school days of drive-in movies and cramps in the groin. And after the reconciliation, with Myrrhina chasing him, he gives a similarly convincing impression of exhaustion. Judith Wells' Myrrhina...
...promoter has created instant antiquity on a 105-acre network of canals and quays. The canals evoke Venice; the squinched-together houses say Portofino, and the town hall is admittedly Mallorcan Municipal. Some find the pastiche unattractive-"A patent fraud," sniffs London's Sunday Observer, "the most magnificent fake since Disneyland."

...Steer Palace, near the new Madison Square Garden, diners perch on the observation platforms of fake railway cars. At La Boufferie, waiters dressed in French sailor suits prance amongst the tables while, over the loudspeakers, Tiny Tim sings Tip Toe Through the Tulips...
...TIME you have been out in Hollywood for one week, you can expect to have heard that everything which was supposed to have happened to Lana Turner in Schwaab's Drugstore a long time ago was actually a big fake. Hollywood is full of cynics who will probably persist in tearing down this legend for years. These same people will say the picture business is closed up as tight as it ever was. They are sure the studio had Miss Turner under contract before they put her in a sweater and on a soda-fountain stool with a straw...
