...once. His movements and even his voice are uncannily like Lahr's, except that, unlike Lahr, Deems has never been quoted to have said, "I don't understand a damn word in the whole play." His performance is splendid. Dan Morgan plays Didi in the manner of a surly, gravel voiced straight man. Though he has only two movements on stage--a mincing goose-step and a tugging at his bagy trousers--he is perfect for the role...

Thick-headed as well as hamhanded, Asanuma graduated from W'aseda University and promptly became a labor agitator. When a minority group of moderates bolted the party last November because of disgust with the Socialist leadership's parroting of the Communist line, Asanuma was elected chairman of the remainder. Before the split, the Socialists polled a total of 13 million votes, v. 23 million for Kishi's Democratic Liberals...
