Democrats descended on Albuquerque's glittering Western Skies Hotel last week like sparrows on a cherry orchard. They filled its 250 rooms with politics and smoke, looked over three of the party's four leading presidential hopefuls, and went home with very little accomplished.

Thus frankly symbolic, it portrays the kind of people, the ways of living and the states of mind that helped produce the 1914 war. Into the ship-shaped house of an aged English sea captain (Maurice Evans), himself the voice of a more high-mettled era, there troop, like creatures into...
...whole. In the long final scene, where the immemorial charm of the English countryside is charged with the tensions of an approaching air raid, Shaw achieves for a time a kind of magic.
