...play's message began to wear off, simply because Mr. Blitzstein had cried "wolf" too often. The music was occasionally too loud, and the articulation not always clear. But these were only minor defects in a well-molded whole for which Directors Bernstein and Szathmary deserve considerable credit Miss. Mann's singing of "Nickel under the Foot" was delightful, the acting of Donald Davidson and Kendall Smith quite professional.
