Broadway, which has suffered through one inept comedy after another since Labor Day, was subjected to three in a row last week...
Despite his technical proficiency, the Eliot House junior failed to produce the singing tones so essential in music of this kind. Particularly in the third movement of the "Waldstein," he did not do full justice to the poetic thematic material because of his brittle tone and inept pedaling. Knudson's big trouble is a simple case of artistic immaturity, and this is understandable.

With none of the authentic prize-ring flavor of Champion, Iron Man has a hollow ring, and badly dents the laws of probability by having Chandler dethroned by an old pal from the same tiny mining town...
