Charlotte Greenwood makes a triumphal return to the musical comedy stage as a frustrated Juno, forever pursuing her errant husband. When she is on, she outshines everyone else; she and she alone exploits Porter's songs to their fullest. Her singing, dancing, and her mugging and remnants of a style of musical-comedy performance that prevailed in the expansive '30's, and which might well be revived now. David Burns is also a pleasure to watch as Niki Skolianos, formerly of South Chicago, who operates the inn and a poppy plantation on the side. Other praiseworthy performers are William Redfield...
...citizens are aware of their role without General Education. The second is both admirable and desirable. It seems almost too bad it is impossible. Oh, certainly the entire student body could be trained in some one field in order that it might have something in common, but we cannot return to the golden age of cosmopolitanism when all educated men had the same things in common.

Moments later, led by G.I. columns stepping briskly to a Sousa march, the jeep-borne general himself (played by Robert Barrat) rolls into sight to accept their cheers...
...worst damage came at 10 p.m. Saturday night when two brick chimneys in Grays Hall toppled through the roof, leaving holes that allowed rain to wash away the wall and ceiling plaster of four rooms. Three students living in the top floor suite will not be able to return for another two weeks, while the three students living on the floor below have been evicted by the workmen for about three days. No one was injured, though there was a sleeping Yale man in the top floor room at the time. Personal damage was estimated...
