Dazzler F. Davis III, who with Ludington will also represent the University at the invitational tournament in Aiken, S.C. this spring, will play at two; Ed Harding, three; Enos Richardson, Jr., five; Randall W. Hackett, six; and Stanislaus Yassukovitch of Warsaw, at seven...
...Diary of Anne Frank (dramatized by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett) does well with a difficult assignment, achieves through quiet sensibility what could be wrecked by staginess. From young Anne Frank's real-life chronicle of herself and seven other Jews hiding out during the Nazi occupation in an Amsterdam garret (TIME, June 16, 1952) have come vivid stage pictures of their huddled, muffled, weirdly commingled existence.

...cargo pilot, John Hackett, a burly man with a magnificent R.A.F. mustache, regularly hops across the English Channel a dozen or more times a day. He longed for a longer ride.

Particular bright spots are Buddy Hackett as a fat racketeer, Dennis King as a spouting and swilling judge, Mary Anderson as a wronged wife out on a bender, and Vicki Cummings as an experienced blonde. And Playwright Kingsley has contrived some funny scenes, including one of a cutie (Sheila Bond) keeping open house while taking a bubble bath...
