...blocky, bubbly ex-Tyrolean, Bemelmans has turned out a score of illustrated books, has won a snug niche in current popular art. His firmly funny India ink lines are backed by broad, patternmaking blobs of color that are cool as summer showers. He is like Raoul Dufy, James Thurber and Peter Arno tossed into salad and marinated in strong dark beer...
Bizet: Carmen (Raoul Jobin, tenor; Solange Michel, soprano; Michel Dens, baritone; Marthe Angelici, soprano, and others; chorus and orchestra of the Paris Opéra-Comique, with André Cluytens conducting; Columbia, 6 sides LP).

To attack them, he sent 1) a battalion of the Foreign Legion; 2) two battalions of Vietnamese and Annamite units; 3) two batteries of 25-pounders; 4) a squadron of the small amphibious vehicles called "Weasels."

Georges Wakevitch's garden setting is handsome; Raymond Sovey's lighting makes it respond fully to the action. Raoul Dufy has contributed six "mood" curtains, and Francis Poulene has contemplated the play with background music. The shortcomings of the comedy are not the result of economizing. Although "Ring Round the Moon" is not as perfect a bit of entertainment as had been hoped, it is still a fine evening...
