Power hit the floor so hard that the vibration upset a vase on a table. He was the most surprised actor of the week
Query of the Month: “Who will play Edward in ‘Edward My Son’?” Answer: “No one!” Although Edward" (the son of Spencer Tracy arid Deborah Kerr in the screenplay) is the pivot point of the drama, he himself never appears in person.
