...Come at 11." Telephoning for an appointment at the Barcelona apartment, Editor Bernier got a surprising answer: "Come at 11 tonight." Once inside, she found herself plunged into the world of a gypsy encampment. "The lights burn out all the time here," Picasso's niece Lolita explained.

John Alexander recreated his memorable role of their nephew who believes that he is Teddy Roosevelt (and leads a spirited charge up San Juan Hill every time he gallops upstairs), while Orson Bean managed to bring fresh good humor to the part of the only sane member of the zany Brewster family. Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff made...
