...Tufts cast deserves real credit for its performance. Uncoordinated until now, it clicks crisply; and the machinery of America, moving slowly at first, warms and speeds up as the play progresses. The play's farrago of dramatic styles, songs, dances and persons is difficult to harmonize, but the loosely knit structure of the play is bound into a tightly cohesive knot, creating a final fluidity. Leads and choruses maintain the spritely and varying rhythms of American life throughout. The same persons flying-shuttled in and out of different roles, weaving the loom of America.

...Liberal walkaway. Instead, the Tories raised their hold on the House of Commons from 50 seats to 111 (including one member gained in a recent by-election). The Liberals were cut down from 167 to 105 members. Independents, plus the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (socialist) and the rightist Social Credit Party picked up 48, thus denying the Tories a majority...

Symes, that the roads cannot finance new equipment unless the Government helps; he suggested that the Government create an agency to buy as much as $2.5 billion worth of rolling stock, then lease it to railroads...
...Special credit is due Arthur Waldstein as the Duke of Plaza-Toro and to his whole entourage, including John Bernard as his attendant, Alison Keith as the pompous Duchess, and Marjory Harper as the daughter, later Queen of Barataria. Waldstein is nothing short of hilarious as the somewhat down-at-the-heels Duke. Alison Keith, who is well-known to Cambridge audiences, is an excellent actress who possesses a fine comic opera voice. John Bernard has an extremely able voice and he appeared quite natural in his role as drummer-boy, later King of Barataria. As his beloved, Marjory Harper...
