...degree of party chauvinism ranges from country to country. East Germany's Deutscher Fernsehfunk carries no U.S. programming, and ladles out the thickest propaganda. Every week, for example, it puts on a Meet the Press-type show starring the same man-Old Propaganda Czar Gerhard Eisler, now 70. Otherwise, East Germans get their TV entertainment from Fussball (soccer) coverage, old movies, and-for viewers within range of West German channels-a few U.S. series...
Dull Paradise. Because of Ulbricht's efforts, East Germany today is a country that looks different, thinks different and even smells different from West Germany. Hanns Eisler's anthem speaks of an East Germany "risen from ruins and turned toward the future." In fact, Ulbricht has turned his country toward the East-for that is where he sees the future.

The Soviet ambassador frequently...
Originally slated for Wednesday evening, the program will consider contemporary problems in Eastern Europe and India. The speakers will include Pavel Eisler, Csechoslovakia; Branke Pribicevic Yugoslavia; and Sashimeren Aier, India. Successive forum programs will take place on Wednesday evenings...

The least known of Brecht's musical collaborators, Paul Dessau, successfully broadens the tradition of Weill, Hindemith and Eisler. Unfortunately, the modified orchestra blares his tunes over Miss Bancroft's not-brassy-enough voice...
...shout properly in two weeks; but Brecht calls for real stagecraft and can't be slapped together. Fox staged the play without humor, without sense of place or time or color; he chose to emphasize only its religiosity and dogma. If Charles Breyer hadn't sung one of Hans Eisler's didactic ballads so meaningfully, the production wouldn't have been worth much...
