...economic policy on Germany, though more specific than its political policy, has suffered from a basic contradiction. In the U.S. zone, Germans have been given no real opportunity for free enterprise, which is the pride of the U.S. system.

Beyond the basic attempt to meet settlement-house demand for an endless stream of day-to-day workers, holiday occasions call for gestures to match. Last night was Halloween: PBH whipped up a special corps of 30 men to fan out into key houses and organize celebrations.

Jerome Kern's score provides most of the embellishment, with "Make Believe," "Ol' Man River," "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man," "Why Do I Love You," and "Bill" soaring over the footlights in the greatest procession of hits ever to gild a single production. And Oscar Hammerstein II has achieved in his otherwise drooping book a kind of graceful, turn-of-the-century nostalgia that dominates most of the evening...
