...first and second acts have a strength rarely found on the modern stage and in the final scene there is a poetic beauty and terror which is almost Biblical in its sweep and expression. Stella Adler as Sarah Glassman is superb; her work has an artistry and beauty which is enthralling, and her understanding melodious voice pierces deeper than the ears.

Kultur, first anti-Nazi play to appear in Manhattan, was an hysterical shambles. Birthright, the second, was little better. Easily best so far is The Shatter'd Lamp, written in England and whisked off the London stage by the censor after one performance. Races, the Theatre Guild's investigation of the same topic, was last week in rehearsal...
