"At Ellis Island." The erstwhile Hebrew comedian has not entirely freed himself from all the earmarks of his old specialty, but he puts a vast amount of feeling and sincerity into the Italian characterization, and realizes the conviction many of his admirers have had that he is a character actor of ability. Also featuring Gertrude Wolf: she plays the part with a touch of grimy realism, immensely effective.
