...casual hand turns out cartoons that rate a Soviet belly laugh, e.g., a dig at infant prodigies that shows a child with huge bull fiddle, both of which have to be carried on the stage. These were rare high points. The show was best described by British Artist Paul Hogarth, who said: "This is pretty dull...
Tall (5 ft. 9½ in.), slender, exquisite Actress Kendall seems at one moment to have come sauntering elegantly out of a Gainsborough portrait, yet at the next she is helling about the screen like a Hogarth hoyden. There is Kay in the height of Paris fashion, triumphant on the witness stand; Kay slinking about in skintights, silkily eluding an incipient pinch; Kay staggering under a giant bouquet of sunflowers, hurling herself into a violent off-to-Buffalo; Kay drunk and belching through a lusty diaphragmentation of the Habanera from Carmen ("All ze men, zay want my -ceegarettes").

In the 18th century, Hogarth not only set down with unerring eye the look of crowded London coffeehouses, but portrayed the dissolute Englishman of his day with a skill and fervor far beyond mere pamphleteering and caricature. The talent Gainsborough showed for catching the majesty of England's landscape became Britain's prime contribution to painting in the hands of his successors: John Constable, who lavished the same care on cloud formations that Italian Renaissance masters gave...
