...Coronation Day, reflecting the new tranquillity, the lush green valley surrounding the capital shimmered with fresh color. Hibiscus and gardenias vied with the brilliant new paint on farmers' houses that looked like huge, multi-flavored icecream cones. Here and there shone the glint of newly gilded brass gods, while ringed all around were the ghostly peaks of the high Himalayas. In the midst of it all, Coronation Guest Lowell Thomas, in proper tails, darted about directing a crew of Cinerama cameramen...
...gurdy high spirits of Abbondanza and Sposalizio. But there is also the lyrical How Beautiful the Days, with its touch of Bellini-like sweetness, and the quick lilt of Young People (with its liltless follow-up line about the no-longer-young).

...Tomorrow [Jan. 23] is about some drunk who sobered up and got a second chance, or as he put it "a second career as a nightclub singer." He profoundly states: "A drunk, however, is a drunk," and "if there is anything more tedious than a lush, it is apt to be a reformed lush." Millions of people felt a choking feeling in their throats when they read Lillian Roth's life story; countless alcoholics, fighting their hard struggle to return to the world of reality, have been inspired and lifted up by her struggle. And then this pseudo-intellectual...
