...adult talent that when she returns to her old specialty in a song called "On the Good Ship Lollipop," it is almost as if Greta Garbo were suddenly to break into "Shuffle Off to Buffalo." Good shot : Shirley's mean playmate, brilliantly impersonated by 8-year-old Jane Withers, showing her the game of trainwreck. The Band Plays On (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer). Copiously seasoned with false sentiment and meretricious heroism, this dish of college, football & young love presents four young hoodlums turned from careers of crime by a kindly coach. As the "Four Bombers" they are supposed...
From the moment she appeared, long chestnut locks falling on a sweeping Renaissance gown designed by artful Jo Mielziner, Miss Cornell handled her part with definite authority.

Those who expected a similar play, however, would have been disappointed, for this new work is something of a comedy at times and at others is poignant drama. But it is highly entertaining and it is good drama...
John Halliday, as Rugo Willens, turns in the best performance and plays his role convincingly. Jane Cowl muddled her lines at times, but is quite successful as the philanthropic lady of leisure. Thurston Hall, who bears a close resemblance to Herbert Heover is excellent at all times, and particularly in the scene in which he drinks to forget that seen his wealth will be confiscated by the damn Communists Ben Smith, as Rand Fliridge, is awkard as a lever, and seems ill at case in the role Jose Ruben is splendid...
