...moves too fast to become boring. Mr. Kaufman's direction, Miss Stickney's performance and Donald Oenslager's sets are all helpful. But The Small Hours is not just unconvincing and overstuffed, with serial-story sentiment opposed to coldhearted sophistication. Far too often, it is flashy as well, and merely helps to illustrate what it presumably sets out to expose...

For most of Mama's big, fond audience, the family favorite is pig-tailed Dagmar, caught at just the right note of sentiment and practicality by nine-year-old Robin Morgan.

But, nothing daunted, the Daily Worker called on its readers to get enough new subscribers to keep it going. It put its faith in the "historic upsurge in the peace sentiment of our fellow Americans." The Worker got another blow last week. In New York City, where the bulk of its readership is concentrated, 500 newsdealers voted 4-to-1 to bar the paper from their stands...
