...individual song. The plot involves a kindly Macy's Santa Claus who loves kids and gets so identified with his part that he sends them to Gimbels if Macy's doesn't have it. The Detroit Free Press's Louis Cook found it "joyful and gay, and if you don't feel a happy tear gathering now and then you're a real slob."

...night's work on Patterson, Liston collected $300,000 of a $1,600,000 gate; with Clay, the gate might go to $8,000,000.

Beautiful, bountiful and (thanks largely to gold mines that she owned) enormously rich, the Queen became more devout than she had ever been before...
Against the energy and verve of Miss Milgrim, Joanne Hamlin's Cynthia is occasionally a bit dull, but her eyes do light up glecfully at the mention of horse racing.

Her anger is powerful and her tears womenly; at times she is the only person on stage acting like a real human being...
