...nger. "Yes-and no-I have my own views." "Why do you laugh?" "At the trial in general." The Nazi object in the entire performance was not only to blame the five Communist defendants for the fire, but to show the existence of a great international Communist plot from which the coming of Adolf Hitler is supposed to have saved the world. The Nazi prosecution did attempt to make some rejoinder to the world's charges that Nazis themselves set fire to the building, by producing alibis for two Nazis-Police Chief Edmund Heines of Breslau and Lieutenant Schultze...

Hoist by this factitious timeliness, Crucible turned out to be a hoarse and inexpert melodrama. Plot: a philanthropist and onetime gambler takes an interest in the girl's painting, offers the boy a job. Audi- ences soon become aware of the philanthropist's real objectives: 1) to get his three gunmen out of the Tombs, 2) to woo the girl, 3) to frame...
