...best section of Act I is "Impromptu" laid in the music publishing office of Ernst Weber at Munich. To it come apple-cheeked Dr. Lessing (Al Shean), his pretty, wide-eyed daughter Sieglinde (Katherine Carrington of Face the Music) and her rustic boy friend Karl (Walter Slezak). These bucolics have arrived in town with the walking club from the mountain village of Edendorf where everyone seems to have been born with a pitchpipe in his mouth.

Never has Socialist Thomas been elected to any public job. But the Wickersham endorsement heartened forlorn independents. Perhaps a political miracle might happen. On that basis the potent New York World-Telegram declared for Candidate Thomas in a stirring editorial, cartooned him as outrunning lame Col. Carrington. Tammany-burdened Mr. Levy.
