...Odets worked because you can learn to shout properly in two weeks; but Brecht calls for real stagecraft and can't be slapped together. Fox staged the play without humor, without sense of place or time or color; he chose to emphasize only its religiosity and dogma. If Charles Breyer hadn't sung one of Hans Eisler's didactic ballads so meaningfully, the production wouldn't have been worth much...

...laundresses are fairly attractive, but it is not difficult to spot Claudine (Betsy Ervin) almost immediately. She is just full of vivacity and sauciness, and she is fun to look at. Her numbers with Breyer and Knopf are delightful, although again the music is no great shakes.
