Every bit as sound in its child psychology as the less wholesome Children's Hour (TIME, Dec. 3). Birthday boasts a stageful of convincing actors. As Irene. Antoinette Cellier repeats her London success, is a properly moody adolescent. Producers Harmon & Ullman have provided a fairly credible London scene which will be completely so when they tear the NRA label out of Baba's school coat...
