...spoke about establishing a high standard of living for everyone but did not mention definitely what criteria he would use to determine what this was or how he would erect a standard that would be acceptable to all people and for all times. In one breath Mr. Beard spoke about the high civilization and culture of the Orientals and at the same time said they should be excluded from the United States because they caused social conflict that was unresolvable. As in most of his utterances Mr. Beard stressed economic considerations to the exclusion of all other points of view...
...Washington his first act was to play host at luncheon. His guest: Robert Marion La Follette, the first Senator of the new Progressive Party of Wisconsin (see p. 12).

Edward Bromberg, stands forth in the round, but his character is not of adequate significance to dovetail insaneness of pageantry. The number of minor characters is so bewilderingly large that mention of their respective merit is here impossible. But the "atmosphere" scenes are well and convincively done. The settings, designed by Donald Oenslager, elicited applause that was justly due, and the richness of the costumes bespeaks a rather optimistic attitude toward the play's longevity...
