...TIME (Sept. 25) you admit being stumped as to an equitable solution to the European situation-given an Allied victory. Of course there is none. But with a German victory there can be a solution. You may not like to believe it, but it's the truth and to risk a banality-the truth hurts...
...generally the best critic of poetry. The history of English literature affords numerous examples of this happy marriage of creative faculties; unfortunately, we have comparatively few men today who have given sufficient evidence of their abilities in both capacities to warrant their being accepted as inheritors of that tradition. None, however, would question Mark Van Doren's right to be so described...
...cast on their satirical ability, not their acting ability. But as satirists, the road company does a good job. They are not the original cast that appeared on Broadway, but for entertainment purposes they might have been just as well as not.

...ridiculous extravaganzas as the "Munchkin Village" and the "Emerald Palace" call for a long and lusty yawn. Ten such scenes aren't worth one of Judy Garland singing "Over the Rainbow" against a two-bit photo-drop, or Bert Lahr chewing his tail. As a matter of fact, the none-too-distinguished cast has run away with the show, leaving the lavish sets sitting around without much to do. Bert Lahr may go rolling down through the annals of film history as an all-time high in Cowardly Lions. Even Judy Garland has accomplished the remarkable feat of being nice...
