...swerving across the unfamiliar lanes in a spine-chilling display of what police later called "bad traffic-lane discipline." Fast drivers jockeyed at speeds that reached 120 m.p.h. Slowpoke trucks and antique autos clung stolidly to lanes reserved for fast traffic. Scores of cars, not up to the pace or to the handling they got, gasped to a halt-as often as not on the pavement-with burst tires, smoking engines or empty fuel tanks. In the first five hours there were more than 100 breakdowns. The motor of one car dropped out. Emergency telephones, which had been strung forehandedly...
...written for a tenor.) As Sénéchal launched into the music, he quickly demonstrated why he is one of France's most courted lyric tenors. The smooth, light-textured voice moved with ease from falsetto to full voice, changing shading and color as it kept pace with Tenor Sénéchal's brilliant comic miming...
Disposable Income. After allowing for prices and higher taxes, has real income kept pace with productivity? Yes, said C.E.D.

...Wesley Zeigler's direction is often contrived. Most of his characters, when they deliver long speeches, pace up and down the stage, following practically the same pattern.

In the first act, an audience sitting out behind the set would hear almost as much of the important dialogue as the group in the Lowell Dining Room...
...lively choreography that amounts to expertly organized pandemonium. Directed by George Abbott, boasting a bouncy score (by Jerry Bock) and urbane lyrics (by Sheldon Harnick), Fiorello! moves from Manhattan's garment district to Washington's Capitol Hill to New York's City Hall at a breathless pace. Crowed the Philadelphia Inquirer: "The new champion!" ¶ A Loss of Roses has Shirley Booth as the listed star, but until the Booth part gets beefed up, the show belongs to Carol (Pajama Game) Haney. Latest of Playwright William Inge's lost characters, Haney's Lila Green...
