...trouble with the mustache is that it usually belongs to James Garner. He looks like a hat model with swollen glands. At least Jason Robards--his tubercular, alcoholic partner--is lean, but I suspect that's because he's been so busy prostituting himself in Hollywood extravaganzas. Robert Ryan, though un-mustached, is as big a blight to the scenery...
...governing England. His father, Lord Amberley, was a freethinker; his mother an even freer one. They died in Bertie's infancy, leaving him to be brought up by two atheist tutors.

The Adams House Lighting Society, in addition to ordinary competence, supplied some extra effects which I will not spoil by recounting here...
