Schnozzle Durante rushes about the stage much as usual, like a worried tornado; he works harder than any other comedian, except possibly Ed Wynn. He makes a most unorthodox-looking Romeo, whose wooing of Juliet (Ilka Chase) is more like a bombardment than a courtship. In the loudest clothes ever worn by a white man, he cuts loose with a song called A Fugitive from Esquire. As a harassed guide, he attempts to conduct some hooligans through the ''Modernist Room" of the Metropolitan Museum. As a harassed tree surgeon he takes the temperature and sap-pressure...
Romeo and Juliet (by William Shakespeare; produced by Laurence Olivier). Since Sothern & Marlowe, no pair of actors has undertaken Romeo and Juliet with more of an aura about them than Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. Last year Olivier emerged as a great romantic lover in the movie version of Wuthering Heights, and Miss Leigh, at the moment, is the most talked-of cinemactress in the world.

...nothing did she enjoy such un-Shavian homage. A dark, passionate beauty with Italian blood in her veins, she reputedly inspired Burne-Jones to paint, and Kipling to write. The Vampire. In her prime-when she played The Second Mrs.Tanqueray, Magda, Romeo and Juliet, Pelléas and Mélisande-she shared honors with Bernhardt, Duse, Ellen Terry. She knew everybody in England, from Oscar Wilde to Edward VII. She was fearless and formidable, a woman who shared her love letters with the world, who had atrocious manners but a superb air, and a wit that Shaw himself might...
