Kilty and Cavada Humphrey, who comprise the cast, are both actors of gleaming style. Simply sitting on their stools and reading, or playing rehearsal scenes with books in hand, they are more truly theatrical than many stagesful of ranting Roscii...
Mother also told Hermione Esmerelda that her father was a loud-mouthed lout from Szechuan Province, China. Mother, on the other hand, was a perfect lady from Tibet, whose nose was always cold and ears never drooped. Mother also had hopes for her daughter.

Author Malamud's deft hand slips occasionally, as in The Lady of the Lake, an oddly unconvincing tale about a Jew who denies his Jewishness, and in Angel Levine, a heavily symbolic account of a Negro angel that is not as rewarding as the old Jewish joke on which it is based...
