...production, Carmen Jones is drenched with light and smeared with color, yet lean and swift-moving. Its choreography (arranged by Eugene Loring) sometimes falters, but at its best-in the hot dancing at the night spot-it is sensational. Its singing, lightweight by operatic standards, is attractive for Broadway. (To preserve voices and play the roles on alternate nights, there are two Carmens, two Joes, two Cindy Lous.) The acting is remarkably ingratiating for performers who were dug up from nowhere and tossed upon a stage. One of the Carmens (Muriel Smith) used to clean film in Philadelphia, while...
...white corn-silk beard up and down.... He was bent like an old tree weighted down with branches. . . . Uncle Mott's face was almost as white as the milkweed furze that I've tried to catch on the meader.... I'd say it was more the color of a yellow clay road when it dries out in the spring...

Among Dr. Leon y Blanco's volunteers were three men with syphilis. They all got pinta, proving that the two diseases are not the same...
Last week while an Army band played, a color guard and three platoons of WACs marched and wheeled and stood at at tention, a trembling Peewee did a front and center, stood alone. The adjutant read a citation: "For outstanding heroism and self-sacrifice," from General Dwight Eisenhower. On her O.D. blouse Major General E.S. Hughes pinned the first Soldier's medal awarded a WAC. Then, though the regulations do not prescribe it, towering General Hughes unbent in the middle, leaned down and planted a kiss on the glowing cheek of Private Maloney...
