...second act, due to the exquisite awkwardness and charm of Helen Chandler, seemed convincing and almost sufficiently beautiful to be exciting. Faust, having regained his youth, met Margaret and loved her despite the fact that he had made a bargain for his soul. First he sent his devil carrying presents to her, then he seduced her and finally killed her brother who attempted, idiotically enough, to defend his sister's honor.

Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart managed to engender "Better Be Good to Me" and "I Must Love You," but they were neither lyrically nor musically up to standards of their Garrick Gaieties or A Connecticut Yankee. Helen Ford as Chee-Chee and Betty Starbuck as Li-Li-Wee were respectively arch and charming. George Hassell squealed and grunted in cagey fashion as the Grand Eunuch. Chee-Chee would be funnier if it did not so faithfully preserve its "you're mine and I love you" attitude...
