...Banuelos' bland assertion that she had been the victim of a political conspiracy seemed preposterous. But TIME's Eleanor Hoover learned that the choice of Mrs. Banuelos' plant was no accident. The tipster, Hoover reports, was Harry Bernstein, the respected labor editor of the Los Angeles Times and a recent crusader against illegal aliens. The day before the raid, Bernstein phoned Rosenberg and told him of the aliens at the Banuelos plant.

A good deal of Bernstein's score is given over to programmatic dance sequences which Field (apparently in fear of comparisons with Jerome Robbins' original stagings) never fully utilizes. But, gee, Mr. Field, there are those of us who weren't even around to see the original so you do have give us something better than the listless mime that comprises the "Miss Turnstyle Ballet" and the tentative exercises that accompany "Lonely Town." As it now stands, On the Town needs...
