...well-shaded home on a quiet Cambridge-street, two soft spoken men direct the class work of the Nishimoto Style School of Judo. Each Wednesday night, amid a flurry of rising feet and falling bodies, they smile proudly at their more advanced students. There is some difficulty in distinguishing teacher from student. Generally, however, the student is larger and lands with a louder thud...
...Hollywood. James Whitmore, Jay Flippen, Eddie Albert and Charlotte Greenwood are good in secondary roles, but the real stunner of the show is the heroine, a 21-year-old newcomer from Smithton, Pa. named Shirley Jones. She has a milky, springtime skin, a creamy figure, and a smile like melting butter. Her brook-clear soprano is the best voice in the picture.

Then he sits before a stage monitor, turning his back on the acts, and watches the rehearsal on the screen...
When the concerto ended, Gilels got an ovation that would have made most Western pianists euphoric. The Russian never cracked a smile. At 39, Gilels is used to applause, having played his first concert at twelve (in his native Odessa). No single concerto can be a thorough test of a pianist's capabilities. The full measure of Gilels' musicianship for Americans will come this week, when he gives a Carnegie Hall recital without orchestra. Meanwhile, it was plain that the Soviet pianist is a phenomenal technician with conviction and passion. Leaving the stage after last week...
