...Show-of-the-Month Club), which closed at week's end, was half harrowingly cute, half harmlessly dull. At the start, some children and their elders decide to produce an opera, using the audience for chorus. While the cast rehearses in "the school auditorium," Musical Director Norman Del Mar flirtatiously coaches the onlookers through various songs-one of which turns the audience into owls, chaffinches and turtledoves. After that, the opera itself-a period tale about a chimney sweep-is performed...
...Benjamin Britten, a leading composer of modern operas, must have had a wonderful time writing this. The complete originality of the first act either charms or annoys the listener, depending on his own responsiveness. The children appear as awful amateurs who have only enthusiasm. And when conductor Norman Del Mar comes out to rehearse the audience, the thing really gets silly. His charm and cunning slowly leads the audience into loud and violent song. At one point, they must imitate birds, and the "Kaaahs" and "To-whoos" ring out through the theatre...

...resolution said: "Whatever disputes and conflicts may exist now or may arise in the future between India and Pakistan, they should be considered as political problems between two countries and should be treated as such. In no event should communalism or the misuse of religion be allowed to mar and distort consideration of our internal problems. We cannot forsake our own policy in a spirit of retaliation. We have not only to treat our minorities with full justice and fairness, but should make them feel that they are so treated." Then, in a voice breaking with emotion, Nehru turned...
