with a small but loyal clientele. Eva is waiting tables and living above the
bar, having fled to its safety when her home was broken into. Zoltan, the owner
has fallen in love with her. An elderly couple, the Popovich’s, are
regular customers, although Marijka is trying to get her husband, Roman, to
move to Parma. “Tree” has just lost his job and thinks he can start
a new career as a gambler betting on the Cleveland Indians. Eva’s
brother, Andre (the Polish Milton Berle) has reappeared after a long absence
and is demanding his share of his parent’s savings. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
