...milk route. By 5:30 he was back in bed; at 8 he was on his way to school. Always, young Roy's income was turned over to his mother, and always, his allowance was spent on movies or a ball game. Shibe Park (now Connie Mack Stadium) was within walk ing distance of the Campanella home, and any afternoon there was a game. Roy was there, too. For a quarter a kid could get an unofficial bleachers seat on the roof of one of the houses adjoining the field...
...step was springy, his shoulders squared, his eyes aglint with reminiscence as he strode on to the West Point parade ground to review the Corps of Cadets.

Dean Gitter, as Mack the Knife, was amusing and sleazy on cue, and when called upon near the end to carry the whole production through several numbers, rose to the occasion with no strain. He was a fine Macheath. With principals so admirably in hand, Mr. Aaron might look to The Gang, which seemed...

After the two groups had finished singing Brahms' "Song of destiny" and the Bach motet, "I Wrestle and Pray," Davison triumphantly pulled open the stage curtains revealing Karl Mack, the awesome conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
