...facets of the production are excellent. The settings by William and Jean Eckart are ingenious and colorful. They have overcome the common musical comedy problem of the transition from scene to scene by integrating the stage changes into the opening moments of each succeeding scene. The chorography, under the direction of Hanya Holm, is responsible for the best number in the show, a ballad sung by Reuben and pantomimed by an extraordinary pair of dancers, Sondra Lee and Timmy Everett. Miss Holm has also staged a wonderfully humorous street fight, as well as a terrifying yet lovely ballet...
Tiger at the Gates (translated from the French of Jean Giraudoux by Christopher Fry) brought early distinction to the 1955-56 season. Just how good an orthodox play is this sunburst of dialectics and wit may be open to question; beyond question the play exhibits the elegance, the light-fingered thoughtfulness, the ironic lyricism of the most civilized playwright of the era between the wars.

When Ed is not scheduled to deliver dealer pep talks in Akron or Denver, he often makes three-day flying trips to Europe, as he did last week for a film interview with Gina Lollobrigida in Paris. Last year he traveled...
Last week Greinetz won his point. Ruled Federal Judge Jean S. Breitenstein: "These are older people who need this break to enable them to work, but there is no reason for Greinetz to pay for it." Labor Department experts could think of no similar court decision* on the coffee break. Since it could upset a long-standing Labor Department ruling that any rest period of less than 20 minutes counts as working time, Government attorneys considered an appeal to higher courts...
