...reformer rid himself of a lot of liberal shibboleths and learned to take on the enemy. He had one more lesson to learn. He entered the Democratic primary for U.S. Senator, and tried to buck the Kelly-Nash machine. He did so well downstate that he actually held a slim majority going into Chicago's Cook County. There the machine votes rolled out and crushed...
...pour Miss Blandish was as different from the old Grand Guignol classics as a Tommy gun is from a thumbscrew. Amid knifings and kneeings, kidnaping and murder, the meaty blonde Miss Blandish (Nicole Riche) spent most of two hours in panties and bra, successfully pursued by drooling Gangster Slim Grisson (Jean-Marc Tennberg).

...music. As she sings, every motive in Lorelei's predacious little soul becomes hilariously clear. At the end of her first chorus, both Carol and Lorelei Lee belong to the audience forever. What Author Loos wrote between the lines and accented in the quaint misspellings of her slim novel back in 1925, Actress Channing hurls across the footlights in broad strokes of pantomime and bold, certain, exquisitely comical gestures. Her Lorelei is the little golddigger seen through a microscope, an outsized caricature...
