...cast, in its entirety, consists of Joe Masiell, who sounds, as convention demands, as if he were chanting from the bottom of a rain barrel; Mort Schuman, who comes on tousled and puppyish and is presumably available for comic relief; and Elly Stone. Miss Stone is what Variety might call a diminutive thrush. She is at pains to assure us, however, that she is mighty of spirit. In every song she gives it all she's got. In her case, this amounts to two wide eyes, a loud voice and a battery of emotional gestures that range from wringing...

...whole performance. John Liller does quite adequate service as the slightly malicious Baby, the ostensible precipitant of all the madness. He is able to neatly upstage the rest of the cast in a couple of their less inspired confrontations just by sitting on a sofa eating mints. Fran Schuman breezed in as an utterly outrageous Madame Chouilloux. In a brief appearance she sustained a totally incredible pose, and had she spent any great amount of time on stage her manner would quickly have become overbearing.
