The Voyageur Gimp, and Shubik as Abbot Jonquil, were particularly suited to their roles and both had the happy faculty of finding the back row. Marx, as the bartender, did a very fine task in holding the show together, for he had a lot of detailed 'cbusinessw to remember. The show was well rounded out by Garrett as Freckles, Gottrill as Solomon, Struthers as Geranium, Walton as Hollyhock, and Schopflocher as Dum-Dum. Many thanks to all of them for a line show!
