...CHERRY ORCHARD. Uta Hagen leads the APA in a gentle and balanced production of Chekhov's commentary on the sad absurdity of human beings who, unable to adapt themselves to the changes of history, grope about in a half-light that may be twilight and may be dawn. Pantagleize, The Show Off and Exit the King round out the repertory...
Such controls left the fundamental causes of the dollar-threatening payments deficit uncurbed. Last week Federal Reserve Board Chairman William McChesney Martin summed up the result in gloomy terms. "We are faced with a budgetary problem that has been getting progressively worse-a sad progression toward undermining the currency," he told the Economic Club of Detroit.

Considering its creators, The African Queen represents a sad, if entertaining, meeting of people whose careers were moving downhill. Bogart and Hepburn had made by far their best films, she for Cukor and Bogart for Hawks; Huston's reputation as a director grew deservedly tarnished, and the best of his later films (Moby Dick, The Misfits) were critical failures...
