...Other Friends. Yet in Oslo, the Communist World Peace Council was busy trying to prove that the nations with which Russia yearns to coexist are a bunch of bloodthirsty plague spreaders. Even though the sessions were attended by the standard Red cheerleaders, the show proved something of a flop. At a three-hour press conference, France's Joliot-Curie, who once had some stature as an honest scientist, showed "documentary" films of germ warfare from Korea and China. When reporters asked such questions as "How many killed?" the answer was: "Secret information...

Despite the obvious handicaps of a tinny bunch of musicians and a backdrop that looks like it was filched from the Old Howard, Bagels and Yox is good enough to keep a packed house holding its sides for close to three hours. Most of the acts are vaudeville, but the subtleties of Yiddish vaudeville are as good as anything the Palace ever had.
