his Spanish ruff is at liberty to do so, but I will forthwith and without a moment’s hesitation pronounce him, or her, as the case may be, crazy. Cyrano has been done by an Italian company of baffling spelling, with a Frenchman, Pierre Magnier, in the name role, to which he brings a wealth of mediocre acting that is almost prodigious. Only once does M. Magnier depart from his nearly super-human “hammery,”’ and that is at Cyrano’s death, which he plays with a rather nice feeling of. restraint. This makes him one up on the rest of the cast of 5,000 souls.

There is a fine, clean, and righteous young soldier-hero, a couple of vil- lains, an actress who is “the toast of Paris” and a number of scenes, if I can take them at their word, laid “behind Clichy in Paris.” You may take my word for it that the whole is done in cliché cinema.

He—Yes, that’s all very well, but he’s in the vegetable business, and Tm in the fish trade. —Pearson’s Weekly AIH Junior—Pop, why was Adam made first?
