"The Bishop's Candlesticks" James K. Hackett is a swash-buckling hero. Mr. Holland
as "The Bishop," presents a wonderfully
true performance, quiet, sincere and convincing,
removing the glare from the footlights
and the paint from the scenery. (A scene from Les Miserables)
Hackett is not over his matinee idol days
yet, and to disguise himself as a scraggily [sic]
dressed escaped convict, unkempt and unshaven,
may be just a little too much for
Hackett's admirers among the gentler sex.
