Split between old film hands and old stage hands, the cast is uneven in performance. Making her Broadway debut as Mary's mother, Myrna Loy, 68, seemed apprehensive in her entrances and exits and confined her delivery to flat recitation. Also making her first Broadway appearance, Rhonda Fleming, 49, seemed to be posing for a camera rather than playing to an audience. Of the stage veterans, Dorothy Loudon and Mary Louise Wilson are tartly expert comediennes, and Jan Miner is wonderfully hilarious as a countess addicted to husbands (five) and alcohol (90-proof...
...interest in the open classroom, the flexible way of teaching that is sweeping the public schools. Usually, fixed rows of desks and fixed weekly lessons are abandoned. Children roam from one study project to another, theoretically following their native curiosity and learning at their own uneven rates.

...News to editorialize. Instead, the paper was administered during the war by a board of David M. Little '18, Master of Adams House and Secretary of the University. Mrs. Anna Hoke, the paper's accountant, Donald T. Field '31, and Thomas S. Kuhn '44. These four oversaw a rotating, uneven, erratic staff which sometimes amounted only to Mrs. Hoke and Art Hopkins, as they turned out first a weekly, and later a semi-weekly from The Crimson's quarters. For once, the paper did not have to seek for advertising; J. Press, Filene's Leopold Morse, and a dozen others...
