Rathbone was effective in the second play, if not quite up to his Broadway predecessor, Eric Portman. He was, however not really at home in the first play. He is habitually cool, clean, clipped and polished; and it was clearly an effort for him to be awkward, slovenly, and impetuous. The two stars enjoyed an uncommonly fine supporting cast--better than the Broadway one, and better directed...
Dixie remains the most universally popular jazz form, either as an end in itself, or the first step towards "intellectual" jazz. Yet the remnants of this era--the few dixie bands centered at Harvard and the musicians who play in make-shift Combos--find Cambridge surprisingly cool to straight Dixieland, at least job-wise. Herb Gardner's Royal Garden Six, for example, has four Harvard members, yet seldom plays in town.

They were the latest work of Painter Milton Avery, whose clear, thinly brushed colors, picturing simple scenes, have earned him, at 65. a quiet, spreading fame...
...fund, the bank, for example, could finance a dam, while the IDA could finance nonself-liquidating projects needed to develop the area around the dam. One big point in IDA's favor: it would lessen the pressure on the U.S. for shaky loans or grants. It would also cool the heat on the U.S. in another way. The U.S. has often had to talk tough to a borrower after loans were granted, to force him to put his fiscal house in order. A borrower would undoubtedly take such talk from the nations in the fund with much better grace...
