...next. An Incomplete Education is the most professional of the productions--again under Schoep--and completely delightful in music, story, staging and orchestral playing. The plot concerns a young man on his wedding night, whose troubles are due more to ignorance than lack of cooperation by his bride. The cast was excellent: Elaine Freybler was a coy but charming bride, Robert Corbright was a properly backward bridegroom, and Ronald Gerbrands added spice as the tutor. This is a piece that shouldn't be missed...
Last week was election time on Formosa again. Candidates toured their constituencies in open cars, sound trucks blared, backs were slapped, babies kissed. Nearly all Kuomintang candidates were Taiwanese.* The new tactics paid off. In Taipei, where 82% of 376,870 voters cast their ballots in a hotly argued and cleanly fought campaign, the Kuomintang candidate, Formosa-born Huang Chi-jui, roundly trounced Independent Kao, despite the fact that Kao piled up 9,000 more votes than in 1954.

...father in Norman Ginsbury's period piece. For two acts the rakish, selfish, stylish Regent insists that Princess Charlotte marry the Prince of Orange, before giving her the Prince Leopold she loves. There are gaudy family scenes-the best one between an unhappy, runaway Charlotte and her unhappier, cast-aside mother-preceding Charlotte's death in childbed...
...delivery, albeit sepulchral, but no real acting demands are put upon him. Peter Kramer as Lt. Stephan Maryk is insipid, and John Dobbyn as Willie Keith is even more so, both inept and without any sense of development. Ronald Coralian, playing the prosecuter, is, like the rest of the cast, illcostumed, and lacks both in speech and manner the bearing of a military officer...
