...second act is peopled by refugees from The Threepenny Opera, both as characters and actors. Peter Johnson and Susan Channing sneer at each other across two inches of mutual nose. Leland Moss stalks and glowers while Vernon Blackman, as the smallest and most industrious of the Cockney quartet, loots the tambourine. Erhardt's direction keeps things moving although the first two acts seem hampered by the shallow sets, forcing all movement into one plane...

But the fifth-place Pirates had won ten out of their last 13 games-including four from the Giants, three from the Braves and two from the Dodgers. Insisted Walker: "With any kind of break, we'll win the pennant." Well, they might at that-since everybody else seems to be trying to lose...
