...chatter sound at times like a page from Bartlett's Quotations: Bernard Shaw pipes up with ''Some day Wagner will rank with Shakespeare and Shaw," Queen Victoria freezes her guests with "We are not amused," Whistler snubs Wilde with "You will, Oscar, you will." A bright, attractive Gilbert & Sullivan crazy quilt, Knights of Song fails to be anything more because it does not treat its subjects as they invariably treated theirs : with style.

The lemons on the table are lacking in form, and the glass is nothing but an outline of white. The whole has little...
...bright side of the ledger is the single set and its lighting, which were designed by Perry Watkins of the New York division of the F. T. P. and display genuine artistry. Mr. Watkins has not only constructed a very plausible French colonial interior, but has achieved striking effects by the use of shutters on French windows and the clever lighting of a drop behind them...
