...Despite Manager Eddie ("The Brat") Stanky's earnest efforts to mind his manners, his hard-hitting, pitcher-poor St. Louis Cardinals have been limping along in sixth place. It was all too mild and mellow for Cardinal President August Anheuser Busch Jr. Last week he fired Stanky, gave his job to Harry ("The Hat") Walker, onetime National League batting champion (in 1947 with .363), who has spent the past three seasons managing the Cardinals' Rochester Red Wings of the Triple-A International League...
...social life at the Ethical Culture School, he once said: "It is characteristic that I don't remember any of my classmates. I was a somewhat repugnant brat." Despite the intense intellectual activity of his precollege days, Harvard affected him as an opening of gates to an intellectual paradise. Later, he called his Harvard experience "the most exciting time I've ever had in my life. It was like the Goths coming into Rome." Said he:"I really had a chance to learn. I loved it.

And, as in 1934, Katherine Emmet is impressive as the grandmother. As the schoolmistresses, however, Kim Hunter and-despite very good moments-Patricia Neal display a certain lack of shading in their roles and of full impact in certain of their scenes. But if such limitations stress how much the acting can mean to a play, the whole evening proves how much a good play...
