...dream device, they have welded a series of bizarre climaxes into a tremendously effective play. Philosophic and graphic elements were so intermingled as to provide the necessary portions of entertainment with a message so pungent. Incomprehensible as that message was at times, it only served as a challenge to dive deeper into the script...

Rodgers & Hart, who can usually save any show from taking a nose dive, aren't quite able to save this one. Their score is agreeable enough, with a few good swinging tunes like Disgustingly Rich and How's Your Health. But it's their slimmest job in a number of years. Making her first U. S. appearance in musicomedy, Hungarian Actress Marta Eggert (wife of Polish Tenor Jan Kiepura) is pleasing but not outstanding; returning to Broadway after seven years in Hollywood, Comic Jack Haley is amusing but not uproarious. Biggest thing in the show...

...Green Mountains run the White Mountains a close second. At the foot of Mt. Mansfield, snuggling in a snow pocket only 200 miles from Boston and 333 from Manhattan, Stowe, Vt. always has snow (from December to May). Its 60 miles of varied trails (including daredevil Nose Dive) are enough for two weeks' skiing without duplication. Other famed Eastern trails for experts: Mt. Greylock's Thunderbolt, steepest of the 16 downhill trails in the Berkshires; Suicide Six, near Woodstock, Vt., where schussnuts whizz down its 1,800 feet in less than 60 seconds; Tuckerman's Ravine...

Captain Eric Cutler again had to be content with a second behind Yale's Rene Chouteau in a 4:53.2 quarter, another exceedingly fast race, to add to his second to Eli Howie Johnson in the 220. George Dana came through with a third in the three meter dive, and the Harvard relay foursome of Fraunic Powers, Lonnte Stowell, Cutler, and Jim Curwen took a third in the 400-yard event...
