South Pacific gets a magnificently effective production. Joshua Logan has staged and stepped up the proceedings with nimble skill, while the Jo Mielziner sets never jam the flow.

Other states, such as Illinois and Texas, have ordered investigations of Communist activities in education (TIME, April 4).
