...unhappy about being a "compensation," and I suppose I don't mind being a "sort of Ivy League Dracula" [in the Oct. 19 review of Pillow Talk]. I can smell a compliment better than anyone I have ever met. No, all I really have to complain about is that I think you underrate Clark Gable [in the Oct. 12 review of But Not for Me]; he's really a deceptively good artist. That's all-but if overrating me goes with underrating him, then God praise the equation. TONY RANDALL
Flatly and, at times, angrily contradicting each other's arguments, Mark DeWolfe Howe '28, Professor of Law, and L.

Properly presented, he is as much a part of American legend as the super-cowboy, just as surely escapes the conventional, rule-ridden world by taking the law into...
...Hancock has made him sprawl and slouch and lean. When Mr. Gesell is allowed to be nice and ordinary, as in most of his achingly poignant scene with Miss Humphreys, he too does fine work. If I have used word like "poignant" and "pathetic" with depressing frequency in this review, I should like to have used them a great deal oftener; for poignancy and pathos are nearly all The Glass Menagerie has to offer, and the only measure of the success of any production lies in how well it projects these qualities. The audience at Saturday's performance found...
