...graduate put toward a new argument, the Robes Thesis: "At the tutorial the student wears the undignified commoner's gown, a jacket of black cloth reaching hardly to the waist. The tutor, however, is dressed in the magnificently flowing black robes of a Master of Arts. This gives a hint of the Oxford notion of the proper relationship between teacher and pupil: the leader is one who knows and the pupil learns from...
...inconsolable, and her predictions of a better world to come infuriate the lover, who wants to be left to his memories of concentration camp life. Such an environment would tell on any optimist, and toward the close we find our heroine suggesting suicide to her alcoholic brother, a hint he does not take. With the end comes no resolution of problems, but only the prospect of a continued day-by-day existence in the future...
Balanchine's notion of the Orient is clearly more erotic than Mayuzumi's. The music is fragmented and ethereal, with no hint of sensuality in rhythm or dynamics.

But after one quiet 1953 performance in Parma, it lay forgotten until Rome decided to produce it again.

The first-night audience in Rome greeted it with 20 curtain calls, and Roman critics pronounced it good enough for the regular repertory...
...Carl Reiner, retains stubborn, slightly awkward traces of honest observation. He knows that the immigrant family walks on American soil hopefully, but always with the small secret fear that it is treading quicksand. A name change may spell assimilative success, but Stein recognizes that it also contains a rueful hint of cultural extinction. This is not to suggest that Enter Laughing is a social document, but merely that its solid sense of social place and time (the Depression) gives an evening of frequently paralyzing laughter an element of true comic bite...
