With an ideal production, the play might be a sort of animated Chinese screen portraying a charming, ancient tale of love triumphant over legal corruption.

But some of the actors lack her flair, with the result that the play provides mostly a rather precious kind of tedium...
...Navy contracts for turbines, shafts, pumps, gun parts ceased. Patience exhausted, Knudsenhillman sent identical telegrams to Milwaukee, urgently "requesting" spokesmen for both sides to hurry to Washington. There defense officials threw them at U. S.

At week's end Knudsenhillman, perspiring and triumphant, announced that the dispute was ended, workers would go back to work, management would grant "union security."

Since Gabriel's first cockcrow, seven Messiahs have done their miraculous best to redeem mankind. But their efforts only went to convince Donne in the 17th Century-and only go to reconvince Olson in the 20th-"that...
