...current Prince Orsini is 37-year-old Filippo Napoleone, who replenished the declining fortunes of his house by marrying Franca Bonacossi, a provincial sugar-beet heiress from Padua. Franca, a woman of ambitious piety, filled her home with cardinals, bishops, monsignors and assorted clergy, urged that her husband be appointed Prince Assistant to the Pope in place of his father (who had been disqualified when he married a U.S. divorcee). She succeeded. But stocky, handsome Filippo Napoleone was bored by cardinals as dinner guests. He preferred to drink cocktails and talk to pretty girls in nightclubs. He never went home...
...great deal more than a well-composed opportunity for Actor Bellamy. That it fails to be more stems partly from the nature of the undertaking. Playwright Schary is constantly concerned with domestic rather than public matters, not least with home and mother-things that dictate a pretty gingerly and sugar-tongued approach. Some of the play's characters are never really used; some never come alive because of the ticklishness of treating people still actually alive.

Even more bitterly, they accused him of using development funds as a bottomless pork barrel with which to woo the peasant vote-a charge at least partly borne out last year when...
...play tells of two sugar-cane field workers (Kenneth Warren and Playwright Lawler), the one a Samson at his job, the other a Don Juan with the women. For 16 summers, during the long layoff period, they have come to Melbourne for a home-style spree with two barmaids. Each year one of them has given his girl a Kewpie doll, by now a symbol of gaily recurrent romance and absentee devotion. This 17th summer, with the other girl married and a new one (Madge Ryan) in her place, with relations between the two men rather strained, and with various...
