LORD MOUNTARARAT (Jeff Zax) and Lord Tolloller (Clifton Lewis) are a superb pair of Peers. Zax in particular seems to want to create his own style of Gilbert and Sullivan delivery rather than rely on the tried-and-true English accents and mannerisms that are part of the D'Oyly Carte canon. On the whole, his efforts are successful. Private Willis (Jay Paul) has the largest voice in the cast; during his one major song, his voice fills the theater with a plenitude and an effortlessness that none of the other performers can match...

In 1937, while accompanying the Chicago Cubs to spring training in California, he wangled a screen test at Warner Bros, and landed a $200-a-week contract. His good looks and fine physique also led University of Southern California art students to select...
Satyajit Ray's superb and achingly simple Distant Thunder concerns the famine in Bengal in 1943. It is a matter of record: 5 million people died. Numbers as huge as this can be dangerous. A tragedy of such magnitude becomes an event abstracted by arithmetic. But Ray's artistry alters the scale. His concentrating on just a few victims of the famine causes such massive loss to become real, immediate. Ray makes numbers count...
