...Sara-Jane Smith brought an unfailingly lyrical voice to the long and taxing role of Susan B. Anthony. Her acting convincingly projected the courage and warmth of the suffragette. She received solid support from Malcolm Ticknor as Jo the Loiterer. The possessor of a considerable comic talent, Ticknor also displayed a strong tenor voice.

In Paris, he tries "laughing Simone from Marseille, a specialist in net underwear . . . and Mamai and Lisa and Danielle and Monique." His real fate...
What Harry doesn't know is that his wife is quivering at her roots, too-over Aldo, a part-time actor, gigolo, spiv and, of course, a "god."
