...beginning, but warmed to the speech, delivered with confidence and fervor, with which Gaitskell wound up a later debate. The cheers kept on until Gaitskell rose and took a bow-a tribute almost never tendered at Laborite conventions. Raising a hand, and with shining face and vibrant voice, he cried: "Thank you, comrades, we take that as a pledge between us." The conference rose and gave him its heart.

Shaw's lines themselves are usually enough to put over one of his plays, but in the current production the playwright gets an assist which verges on the superhuman. Siobhan McKenna, a little slip of a girl with an expressive face and a vibrant voice who plays Joan, received tumultuous applause last night and deserved every bravo of it.

Like all sudsy sagas, these two have portentous titles (As the World Turns and The Edge of Night), vibrant organ "stings" at emotional moments, and time-consuming dialogue ("Penny, sometimes I don't get you." Penny, after a longish pause: "Sometimes I don't get myself"). Much of the nighttime drama was equally soapy. Robert Montgomery Presents featured Henry Jones as a lack-wit garage mechanic who first fails in an attempt to murder his wife...
