Cooney Weiland's 300th victory celebration cake went stale last night, but Cooney couldn't have been too upset about it. His hockey team played a superb game and firmly established it self as one of the best teams in the East...
There is a stowaway on Noah's ark: Jonah. Two By Two is a jinxed musical arch, vulgar, lumbering, stale. It may conceivably make scores of theater- party ticket purchasers curse their favorite charities for months to come. There is, of course, Danny Kaye as Noah, and he does everything short of scat singing a git-begat-gittle number...

The caperings of Mary, the maid, seemed to contribute nothing to the action, but Victoria Fraser's quickness in that part relieved an artistic sore in the play which was repeatedly aggravated by Jim Lynch's performance as the visiting Fire...
