...Sylvia Sidney), who want him to be a druggist. His perils and pratfalls as he develops his dubious talents in a flea-bitten acting school run by a haughty, boozed-up impresario (Alan Mowbray) and his daughter (Vivian Elaine) make for broad, boisterous fun. With his syrupy delivery, chipmunk facial grimaces and gift for lighting his own finger instead of the leading lady's cigarette. Arkin is a clownish glossary of theatrical ineptitude.

...Loeb's production is saved by the near-flawlessness of the actors, two of the best players in Cambridge Samuel Abbott's Peter is the epitome of complacency provoked; his pouts, frowns, and enraged outbursts are so natural that any facial manipulations from him produce gales of unanticipated laughter. To Abbott falls the more difficult of the two parts, for he must maintain his characterization and the audience's sympathy during long periods of silence, a task which he carries out particularly well during Jerry's monologue...
