Visually, the production has much to delight the audience, though there is nothing to suggest the Athens specified in the text. William and Jean Eckart have designed a set of six tall white poles, to which are added holed panels, like cheese slices, and fluted sails for the court scenes.

The country with the best and biggest of everything does not bore visitors with a salesroom or the insides of factories. How refreshing! Besides dollars and engineering brains, Americans have heart, foolishness, creative hands. The apple corer dreamed up by some ingenious Yankee, the hand sewing machine, the wooden-paddle washing machine were all forerunners of today's American technology.
