...long last, some really fine student ballet dancers at Harvard have come out of the studio into the limelight. Onstage at the Ex this weekend, Joanne Hochberg, Lois Rosenberg and Francine Figie prove, in three short and beautifully executed pieces, that ballet is no drawing-room accomplishment. This pared-down movement breaks through any porcelain figurines of cliche. There are no imposed theatrics in the performance; costumes are kept to a bare minimum; lights illuminate, not ornament...
...danced with most impressive technique. The second work, a series of Tchaikovsky Divertissements, though a virtuoso exercise, lacks the excitement of the other two pieces: "Songs," choreographed by Carol Jordans of the Cambridge School of Ballet to Mendelsshon's "Songs Without Words," and "Pas de Trois," choreographed by Hochberg to the allegro movement of Mozart's "Clarinet Quintet in A." In Jordan's work, the trio of dancers evokes Mendelssohn's past. Rosenberg's sprite, Hochberg's strength, and Figie's smoothness create the moods of childhood, maturity and old age. The crowning glory of the evening, however, is Hochberg...

The result of this misdemeanor is the gruesome climax of Men in White: a hysterectomy following an infective abortion. Dr. Ferguson does the operating. Dr. Hochberg (Jean Her-sholt), the surgeon who runs St. George's hospital and considers Dr. Ferguson his most promising interne, persuades Laura Hudson to watch it. Going under ether, the nurse babbles enough to explain the cause of her predicament. Laura Hudson faints, has to be carried from the operating room...
...corridors and the house telephone service to get in the way of a simple, disagreeable story. More outspoken and more serious than the cinemas of the hospital saga of a year or two ago, the film is a harrowingly honest document. Good shot: Laura Hudson learning the lesson Dr. Hochberg wants to teach her, from Dr. Ferguson's impatient fury when she touches him, sterile after his scrub-up, with her bare hands in the operating room...
...Hochberg, played splendidly by Jean Hersholt, is the motive force behind the story. He has sacrificed everything honestly to make himself a great doctor. It is he who shows young Ferguson the relation between his duty to the medical profession and his personal happiness. Myrna Loy and Elizabeth Allan are capable, but since they are only foils in the story, have little chance to shine...
