...Holiday", Phillip Barry's comedy of the younger generation, still draws the crowds and a curious hodge-podge of critical evaluation, from those who think its smart sophistication eminently satisfactory to those who consider it a hasty re-hash of idle chatter by the smart young New Yorkers one may find at the Algonquin. Jed Harris has two shows on view, the profane and colorful newspaper show, "Front Page" and a not entirely successful fantasy, but a play like none other now in New York, "Serena Blandish", in which Ruth Gordon, A. E. Matthews and Constance Collier depict the languid...
...Page?Burton J. Hendrick?Houghton Mifflin ($5.00). The two-volume life and letters of Walter H. Page, Wartime ambassador to England, were worthy best sellers. That a third volume should now appear, antedating the others in subject matter, suggests the frequent publishing ruse of selling a dull re-hash on the strength of the original success. Nothing of the sort is true in this case, partly because of Burton Hendrick's studied sense of the dramatic, mostly because of the essential fullness of Page's life before he ever thought of ambassadorship.

What is TIME? A hash of special interests, or a reflector of universal news ? If news appears in any department, print it (as indeed you do). Let unnewsworthy space-fillers alone.

Your editorial discrimination, as well as your condensation, is worthy of our praise and loyalty. Avoid "departments...
Merry-Go-Round. This second Richard Herndon revue with few people against many backgrounds may be dismissed as a sample of unseasoned summer hash, flung in a heap and presented in a panic. But out of respect to the memory of its saucy ancestor, Americana, be it recorded that William Collier calls Charles A. Lindbergh a "fly-by-nighter," that Marie Cahill recites a telephone monologue, that Evelyn Bennett dances like chained lightning, that Knox Herold catches the stern spirit of Bill Hart in a movie burlesque. Miss Bennett,* whilom "Baby Eva Tanguay" of vaudeville, looks like a street cherub...
