...Holmes Jr. In the famed "confrontation scene" in Room 1400 of Manhattan's Commodore Hotel, Hiss peered at Chambers' teeth as though examining a horse, listened to his accuser's low-pitched voice, and admitted recognizing the man-but only as a freelance writer named George Crosley whom he had briefly befriended...
Died. Powel Crosley, Jr., 74, owner of baseball's Cincinnati Reds, manufacturer of low-cost radios and refrigerators and of the midget Crosley auto, a 30-h.p., $800 precursor of the compacts; of a heart attack; in Cincinnati.

Chase Crosley makes a warm Wendy, though she is a bit too mature for the role. Gus Solomons, Jr. doubled nicely as Nana, the St. Bernard "nurse," and the crocodile who snapped off Captain Hook's right hand. His choreography, however, is rather colorless and insufficiently rehearsed...
