...barrier to theological unity is even less surmountable. An agnostic would say that, just as there are different sizes in clothing, it seems necessary to have many different theological in order to approximate the various specifications of different human souls. From the point of view of a church goer of more rigid beliefs the divergency is accounted for by the fact that God has divided humanity into saints and sinners...

Mary Martin's first stage appearance since "One Touch of Venus" is a welcome one. Although her voice is not strong, her charm and personality, to revive two senile cliches, serve to make convincing a role which no modern theatre-goer can view without twinges of skepticism. Yul Brynner, still handicapped by a notice able accent, does his best opposite Miss Martin in a somewhat sterile part. The other 45 actors named in the program are mainly character bit players who are competent but have little chance to become outstanding; perhaps Rex O'Mailey was most noticeable because...
