...that old chair is the Vagabond's true friend and was his father's father's friend. Live in a House and have the maid change and clean and handle the furniture at will? Friends need a friend's care. The Vagabond stays! And this coat: give up a garment which has served so well and so long. No. The Vagabond is a sentimentalist. New things, modern things will not pollute him; his is the richness of the past; his the luxuries only of the mind. Come Professors, warm over your courses. The Vagabond lives again...

...Theatre Union, which last year put on Messrs. Peters' & Sklar's Communist melodrama Stevedore (TIME, April 20, 1934). In that locale, Parade's sour skits and migraine melodies might have had some relevancy. At the Theatre Guild, which has a tradition for art rather than garment-loft politics, Parade gives its spectators no pleasure, no precept, but plenty of punishment.
