The dramatic parts a slog, but the vaudeville parts are awesome — and Bert Lahr is not to be missed.

… and Bert Lahr is not to be missed.
A courageous performance, I’m sure.
you’re heartless
If you only had a brain, you’d be dange….
… smarter than you already are.
I am always surprised when I see photos of a young Milton Berle, it felt like he was always old.
