MOST gifted in this alchemical effort are Daniel Seltzer as Caesar, and Susan Yakutis as Cleopatra. Seltzer's performance is especially impressive: not only are his readings rapid and controlled, but he succeeds in underplaying effectively a role which would tempt any actor to bravado.

To be sure, the Press is not quite the paper it was under its longtime editor, Louis Seltzer, who retired in 1966. An unabashed sentimentalist where Cleveland was concerned, Seltzer did his best to identify the paper with the town, to such an extent that it often dictated the choice of candidates for public office. That is a role the present management has chosen to forgo. "By playing kingmaker," says Editor Thomas...
