Parade at Guild Theatre Critiqued as Slapdash Communistic Revue
The Theatre Guild’s Parade revue at the Guild Theatre is described as hurried and artificial with a Broadway style yet weak score and lyrics. Jimmy Savo is noted but not fully showcased, while the Communist theme appears more as shock value than substance, and the overall production is labeled uninspired and incongruent with the Guild’s usual fare.

Young Go First Theatre of Action Impresses Audiences
The Young Go First group at the Theatre of Action wins audience sympathy with sincere performances led by Edward Mann and Will Lee. Rhoda Rammel kamp stands out among female roles as Mrs Stedman, while Curtis Conwaye’s Irish character elicits support. The piece aims to energize sleepy theatregoers and build a real workers theatre, though critics note flaws in the script and overall polish.
