...music & lyrics by Sigmund Romberg and Leo Robin; book by Jerome Chodorov and Joseph Fields) deserves credit for a good deed: it brought Renee Jeanmaire, of France and Hollywood, to Broadway. Impishly black-eyed, boyishly black-haired, seductively black-silk-stockinged, she is an expert and charming dancer, an inexpert and amusing singer, an explosive personality, and a very bright asset of a decidedly dull show...
...reminds him of his arguments with David Siqueiros, who opposes Tamayo's work because it does not reflect the Marxist ideology which Communist Siqueiros insists is part of the Mexican heritage.

A harassed jeweler (Anthony Ross) lives over his shop with his long-suffering, short-tempered wife (Margaret Feury). Their son won't take...
