After announcing in advance that she had no intention of "bungling" her children's upbringing, Jackie Kennedy has not only succeeded in separating the jealous worlds of family and official duty, but has handled both with verve, resolve and good taste.

His real triumph, though, (it's perhaps the high spot of the whole show) is the fanatic "I'll Never Be Jealous Again," where, steeled to devotion by a secretary, Mabel (Barbara Charakian), he sweeps the woman into one of the deftest, suavest soft-shoe bits since Eddie Foy created the role of Hinesy...
