It also gave producers and the other daily critics a pain in the neck. The producers claimed that their shows were not ready for reviewers' eyes at previews, and the critics made unseemly comments to the effect that any fellow who couldn't dash off a sharp review in an hour ought to go paint gold-leaf letters in some monastery...
