Otitic Jacques Chapman (in the 'Daily News) ?√ß^?√ß"?√ß^^?√ß" parleevu'd: "An absorbing, viVw.and theatrically expert production." ... The Parisian players also inspired oolah- lahs and champagne toasts for their versions of Moliere's "Amphitryon" and "Les Fourberies de Scapin." . . . The National Theater of Greece troupe arrived with ' "Electra," starring the electric Katina Paxincu. The drama-diplomats became enchanted allies of the star and show. Reviewer Spyros Atkinson (of the N.Y. Times) rejoiced: "A tragedy that still retains heroic stature." ... An American cast and .play, "The Seven Year Itch," triumphed, too. This gay-guy- gal spoof transformed most critics into cupids. They showered Vanessa Brown and Tom Ewell with valentines. The H.-Trib's Walter Kerr koo'd: - "A delightful addition to the season." .. .

''Scotland Yard Inspector" is a crime and punishment j maneuver, 'the tale is a crime and the audience is punished. ... "Life Begins Tomorrow" is a feeble Frenchie, empty as j the Eiffel Tower and twice as heavy. . . .
