...gala reception at the plush Union Club. Ike gratefully agreed, shortly slipped back to his apartment for a night's sleep, plainly tuckered out and no better for the day's wear. By next afternoon Eisenhower was feeling better. It was then that he got his biggest thrill. Driving to the El Panama hotel, where he was to participate in the signing of the Declaration of Panama, he was beset by the most wildly cheering throng he had ever experienced, finally arrived at his destination-a short three miles away-in 32 minutes.

But Tenor Brian Sullivan (Tamino) was dry-voiced and stiff-backed; Basso Jerome Hines, while...
...cleverer throwing monkey wrenches into it. What with the wrong person turning up at the right moment, or the right person at the wrong one, or somebody showing funk or something important disappearing, there is endless gang-aft-agleying, and Someone Waiting seems more an obstacle race than a thrill er. Never believable, in time it becomes something of a bore, and though Leo G. Carroll plays the father with his usual deftness, it is on the audience that he really seems to be taking revenge...
