But then appears Lemonade Joe, played by Karel Fiala, an actor who looks like a reincarnation of William S. Hart. He heroically shoots a fly in mid-air and scatters the crowd...
...rest of the cast, except for Martin Andrucki and Sheila Hart, isn't worth mentioning. He interpreted Mercutio as a flit and she-with another director might have been an okay Nurse. Frank Hartenstein's set was a split-level bungalow that converted into a shower...
