...only really irritating acting performance is that of Ann Hillary, who persists to shout wordlessly in a rasping voice throughout both plays. If Miss Hillary proves distracting, nothing else detracts from the general success of the play. The sets, while not exciting, are satisfactory. The costumes, especially on Miss Leighton, are more than adequate. But the most striking contributions are those of Eric Portman and Terence Rattigan...

...matter how one looks at it, this is not small time football. Admittedly it is not the football played in Ann Arbor, or Los Angeles, but it is also not the football played at Amherst.

All the offstage opposition mustered by its Ann Arbor rival, the University of Michigan, could not keep it out of the Big Ten. In a league where almost every school is a symbol of state pride, the rivalry between Michigan and M.S.U. became understandably bitter.

After a select group of American beauties had paraded their assets for all to assay, South Carolina's blonde, blue-eyed Marian Ann McKnight, 19 (assets: 35-23-35; dividend: a singing imitation of Marilyn Monroe), was handed a queenly scepter and crowned Miss America of 1957.
