Actress Andrea Marcovicci had dreamed of wearing a few of the baubles found in King Tut's tomb, but settled for a necklace once owned by Sarah Bernhardt. She will wear the jewels and an elaborate headdress in her role as Nefertiti, Queen of the Nile, in the Broadway-bound play of the same name. Marcovicci-best known as Woody Allen's girl friend in The Front-admires the strong-willed wife of King Akhenaten.

...Fascist. To judge by the uniforms worn at Claudius' court, the usurping king is a tin-pot fascist. Robert Burr plays the role like Dean Martin presiding at a "roast"; Andrea Marcovicci plays Ophelia like a stewardess in search of an Upper East Side singles bar; and if Ruby Dee's Gertrude is capable of loving either Claudius or Hamlet, it will certainly be news to them. Only Larry Gates, doubling as Polonius and the First Gravedigger, emerges from this fiasco with a modicum of merit...
