...Semitism. Wang becomes perceptibly agitated when the subject is brought up. His disclaimers are pathetic and contradictory. For near the surface of his quarrel with modern America is the recurrent theme--"Communism is a Jewish movement. . . . Talmudic filth. . . . Ike Eisenhower, Max Rabb, Col. Kuhn, Felix Frank-furter are a bane and a plague on our people. . . . usurer...
When Gaillard, then Finance Minister, devalued the franc last summer, pressure eased. As Premier he courageously curbed credit and imports, decreased the subsidies that are the bane of the French economy.

Lack of originality, however, is the real bane of this musical. The lyrics of Frank Reardon are a little more inane than most; but Earnest G. Schweikert's music is acceptable commercial fare and the dances staged by Bob Hamilton are at least as lively as those on any television show. Thus Eddie Foy, who plays Rumple, Stephen Douglass, the cartoonist, and Gretchen Wyler, as a sex-smitten gag writer, have at least acceptable material with which to work.
