...Jo Lane as Mommy is simply wonderful. Her description of her shopping trip in the opening scene is alone worth the price of admission. Throughout the play, her manner is perfect, although occasionally her large stature makes her poses seem held overly long. Paul Price plays a properly effeminate Daddy opposite Mrs. Lane, but his gestures too often seem forced. I have a similar quarrel with Harriet Roger's Grandma. Wriggling, swaying, and stooping after a while become obvious devices, but still Mrs. Roger has an excellent sense of timing, and her Grandma is thoroughly likable. Jean Comstock turns...
...could put it another way: compared with corruption, practically everything in Brazil has been insignificant.

...severe obstacles. A house wife from Leonia, N.J., spent 800 hours commuting by bus to Morningside Heights in upper Manhattan for four years to get a degree enabling her to continue graduate studies at Columbia's Russian Institute. Even the jet set touches down at G.S. Ex-Actress Jo Ann Bliss, wife of the president of the Metropolitan Opera Association, expects a degree in art history next year. Top student in the class of 1961 was Mrs. Hugh Auchincloss, sister of Washington's Bundy brothers, who won awards in history, philosophy, and social science; Mrs. Auchincloss dropped...
...these materials to create some of his most famous poems. One such poem with a bawdy original is Comin' Thro' the Rye, in which a much earthier verb appears in the line: "Gin a body kiss a body/ Need a body cry." Another ballad, John Anderson, My Jo, is known to every schoolboy as a touching tribute to the strength of marital affection in old age: its source, doubtless known to every schoolboy in all Scotland, turns out to be a ballad where the old wife mocks the decline of her old husband's sexual powers...
