...Chico Hamilton Quintet (Pacific Jazz). Thirteen of the dapper, low-keyed arrangements that have made Drummer Hamilton an important figure in the jazz of the West Coast. There are such oldies as September Song (in which the theme is only obliquely hinted at in the bass), but more new numbers such as Bass Player Carson Smith's Chanel #5, which is shot through with a wistful flute solo...
...comes from the Marx Brothers who, although they are not at their best in this 1938 classic, are still great. Even the most sophisticated viewer will laugh at the subtle commentaries of Groucho's moustache and eyebrows. Harpo's silent humor is pantomime comparable to Chaplin's and Chico is always lovable and sometimes hilarious...
...First Baseman Walt Dropo, an adequate fielder, is hitting well enough to hold down the cleanup slot. Second Baseman Nellie Fox, a consistent .300 hitter, has picked up new tricks in the infield, e.g., learned to go to his right for ground balls, under Marion's coaching. Shortstop Chico Carrasquel, not hitting up to par, is still one of the best in the business. Third Baseman George Kell, healthy again after a knee operation last winter, is the old pro who saves the game with a stop or a hit in the clutch...

He was also apparently proud of the stabbing. When photographers snapped his picture, it was of just one more arrogant, smirking young hoodlum who knows no law but that of the blackboard jungle. Said seriously injured Teacher O'Tarrell, when asked...
...they must carry on in a sewer, but it would hardly be excessive to ask the stars of a musical to be able to sing. As the chanteuse Diane, however, Miss Miss DeHaven reveals only a rather light voice which requires amplification, while Montalban, cast in the role of Chico the sewer-cleaner, is content to speak rather than sing his lyrics. Neither gets much help from the loudspeaker system, which has a tendency to squeal at inopportune moments. That defect, I am afraid, is the only thing which can be improved before Seventh Heaven opens on Broadway...
