Word from What Cheer. To Peoria, Ill. traveled Dwigtit Eisenhower, having already turned down all suggestions that he try to outpromise Stevenson. If Adlai's farm-rich home state was turning against Ike (who carried Illinois by 443,000 in 1952), it could not be seen in the crowds fanking Peoria's streets four and five deep.

The principals, Kathryn Grayson and a European tenor called Oreste, sing about as well as most people do in the movies, though at times the audience may find itself wishing that Oreste, who can holler pretty loud when he's a mind to, had two names and only one lung...
