...there was delight for the ear as well as the eye; from the first bright sounds of Richard Strauss's Fanfare, it was clear that the Pavilion was a superb musical instrument. The Los Angeles Philharmonic's brilliant young (28) Indian conductor, Zubin Mehta, showed the acoustics off with one of Respighi's chiaroscuro set pieces called Feste Romane, whose chief virtue is that it includes the most delicate pianissimos as well as the most plangent brass. The sweeping gold acoustical canopy carried the sound, clear and unblurred, to the furthest seat. And when Violinist Jascha Heifetz...
...youngsters, Clarence Williams and Carolan Daniels, play acceptably. But George Rose as the shopkeeper is nothing less than superb.

Paul Benedict, a ubiquitous master of trades, is especially amusing as a drunkard, soap box orator, prude, interloper, private eye, gentleman, freak show barker, and Mussolini...
...superb assistance. Producer Herbert J. Motley, Jr., must have coughed up a tubercular amount of cash to pay for Lewis H. Smith's dazzlingly varied, fresh, and luxurious costumes. The colorful, lively stage settings of Marjorie Ingalls and William S. Carter turned the vast desert of the Loeb main stage into the intimate oasis G&S fans remember the Agassiz stage to have been. The Adams House Lighting Society, in addition to ordinary competence, supplied some extra effects which I will not spoil by recounting here...
