...Prisoner of Zenda has been made into four movies, but not a Broadway musical until this season, when Alfred Drake will star in Zenda, which takes some liberties with the original novel: the English gentleman hero is now a song and dance man on tour (Nov. 26).

The upright men among England's Top People live morally because a gentleman should do so, and not, so it seems, because the church tells them to.
