Cigar-chewing, face-screwing Howard Smith had only begun to operate. It was a bill on which Northern Republicans and Southern conservative Democrats, disenchanted with each other since last year's civil rights fight, could come together. Smith helped round up some 60 dissident Southerners. Minority Leader Joe Martin caucused the Republicans, kept them in line behind the Eisenhower version of the bill. As debate opened at midweek, Republican strength had become so obvious that Sam Rayburn gave up the battle and ducked off to Virginia to crown Her Majesty, the queen of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival...

...true love, is what makes the world go round in Arthur Schnitzler's satire on love-making in 19th century Vienna. His ten "dialogues" on a common theme have been given probably as many varying interpretations as productions--from the ironic bitterness of the New York Circle Theater's presentation last year to the delicate waltz-like charm of the movie version. Theatergoers expecting one or the other will be either shocked or delightfully surprised, according to their appetites, at the less complicated rollicking sybaritics of the Actors Company production...
