...wise old father had chosen who gets him in the end. All this is unfolded in an atmosphere that varies between Mr. Hammerstein's old Norman Rockwell whole someness and a new, Broadway, meretriciousness of second-rate sick jokes and falsie gags. Mechandizing the cuteness of a whole covey of little children (including one with a hula hoop, who got a big hand) provides the authors with one of several opportunities to be wholesome and meretricious at the same time...
