...Hudds' haven cracks slightly when Mr. Kidd, their senile landlord, half-remembers that their apartment used to be his bedroom. Then a man and his wife looking for lodging threaten to rent the Hudds' room; and a blind Negro who had been living in the cellar asks Mrs. Hudd to come back to a mysterious unsavory past, to her home.

But 17 of the show's 21 scenes are over before a number comes alive that really rocks the house-That man over there is Santa Claus, I know! I know! I know! Choreographer Michael Kidd reels off a twinkle-toed, rainbow-colored Macy's parade, and a fanciful sugarplum birthday party in the toy department, but it isn't enough to save the evening...
