...Island, it has a bright and diverting first act, and it has Shirley Booth all the way. Shirley Booth may not be to musicomedy what Ethel Merman or Mary Martin is, but she is one of the wonders of show business. Her personal warmth almost seems to constitute (or render superfluous) a style of acting: her Lottie Gibson seems a triumph of little more than charm, bad grammar and a sort of rented singing voice. But quite equal to her natural appeal is her brilliantly unobtrusive, indirect-lighted showmanship...
Last December New York's irascible Congressman John Taber, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, served notice of his intention to wipe out the Administration's anticipated $3 billion deficit.

Unfortunately the selection of scenes leaves a false impression, making the desert resemble "Arizona Highways Magazine" more than Arizona...
...Bacchus. In all these shifting moods the composer's emotional intensity must be just a degree less than the poet's; the musical setting must heighten, not dwarf the spirit of the poetry. Finally, there is the language--the cool, stark quality of Latin in this case--to render beautiful, Mr. Bonvalot's settings fulfilled these qualifications to a remarkable dgree. The power and intelligence with which Mr. Bonvalot, one soloist, conveyed both the dramatic and musical aspects of the work further contributed to their overwhelming impression upon...
