When Feldstein portrays the entire situation as a simply "bizarre" and almost "unreal" scene, in which children, mothers and fathers are forever in fear of their kibbutzes being the target of Palestinian bombing, one must adopt a more analytical and less emotionalist perspective, and ask why the Palestinians are firing. Indeed, when viewed within an historical-political scenario, the scene is certainly not of some bizarre nature where Israeli kibbutzniks just happened to be chosen as Palestinian targets...

...however, not as Romantic individualists, but as two pairs--each pair being, like the two sides of a coin, opposites but mutually inseparable (it corresponds to the dualistic concept of inyo that permeates so much of Oriental thinking). In one case: teacher and pupil, guardian and ward, rationalist and emotionalist, etc.; in the other: capitalist and laborer, upper class and lower class, exploiter and exploited, etc. Superb as was Bert Lahr's performance individually last year, the requisite mutual rapport between Gogo and Didi was lacking; and it is this complementary interrelationship that Messrs. Hyman and Moreland now capture...

...composite hero throughout, the sharks the composite villain. The sharks "settle everything," tumble drowning fishermen, end love triangles, horrify audiences. Robinson writhes and mouths his lines in an effective, fat facsimile of Lionel Barrymore's acting. Zita Johann, beauteous Austrian-born importation from Manhattan, is a convincing emotionalist, serious and big-eyed...

...Paul Green and Sidney Howard, they are both honest and constructive in their writing, but they can not get beyond the lack of imagination in the American theatre. Even Eugene O'Neill, the paragon of present day critics, is "an unsatisfactory genius." "--it is as an emotionalist, and not as a thinker, that Mr. O'Neill excels. His strength is of the great, raw, shaggy kind that Whitman's has. It is soberer, starker and infinitely more glim. But it is no less torrential, savage as it is, with the same energy, heavy with the same profusion and cumulative...
