...evangelism of the Protestant churches. No one can say we are narrow-minded in our attitude toward living. In your "Reflections from an Irregular Planet," one that could have been included is the well-known quotation of Luther's: "Who loves not women, wine and song remains a fool his whole life long." Luther did not mind admitting that he was human, something many theologians of today will...
...David Scondras as Malvolio (his hair is disarranged) is a natural comic, but he is a bedraggled sad sack, and Malvolio is not. Robert MacDonald might be able to act if he didn't have to concentrate on sounding as though he were being strangled.

In Lerner, Hunter has faithfully recorded the conventions of the French/American tough guy: his slovenlieness, his resistance, his attempt to be sphynxlike. But in the character's most Bogartian moment...
Lear's Fool. No one follows this pie-eyed piper, and he follows no one; his most faithful companion is the skeleton of a woman, the least troublesome kind of female from his point of view. In every town he knows the jails, the madhouses, the cantinas and the churches. He wears rags sewn with tiny bells, each of which tinkles a note that in his mind symbolizes the special vice of each place he has visited. He is a spiv, and his roguish capacity for survival unites him with Ulysses, Tom Jones and Huckleberry Finn. Yet Pito remains...
