...Bonnie is the usual musical comedy unusually well done. Its best features: the acting of Dorothy Burgess who strives seriously to smile success through this her first musical comedy role; an excellently trained chorus; the song " 'Cross the River from Queens."

What gave rise to the publication of Mr. Buchman's methods were reports from Waterbury, Conn., where known Buchmanites were among some 90 ministers and college students who conducted a revival there lately. Buchmanites stated that 50 or 60 of the speakers who preached from soap boxes on street corners were of their persuasion. Anti-Buchmanites have since protested that a much smaller percentage of the preachers were Buchmanites, that Buchmanism did not characterize the revival. The revival was planned and directed by one W. Cleveland Hicks, graduate of Trinity College, no Buchmanite. By definition, Buchmanism, which consists...
