Jascha Heifefz and the Hollywood Bowl had words. The Bowl management made public covert cracks about "certain artists" wanting a lot of money and then deciding not to play. Heifetz promptly fielded the innuendo. The Bowl, said he to the public, had begged him to play, and he had agreed to for $5,000, and then the Bowl itself had called it off.

Tallulsh's Sophie slinks along through three acts, charging each gag line with the solid note of Bankhead innuendo; Joan Shopard, recently of "Tomorrow the World," nearly steals several scenes as Happy, Sophic's quipping adopted daughter. During the rare moments when wit is forgotten and Barry's heady continuity fumbles, Miss Shepard comes to the rescue with extremely competent timing and humor sense for a performer of her years. Once or twice in the opening...
