The show's big drawback, pain fully evident throughout the en tire performance, was a lack of rehearsal. "Some Punkins" was not ready to go, as its sloppy cur tains, ragged orchestra, and gen eral bad timing proved. Strong point of the show, the thing which will be remembered for a long time, is the really great I score composed by Frank Lewis and David Weiner. Their catchy "Roaring Twenties," the lovely "True As Any Sweetheart Can Be" and the half dozen or so oth er memorable tune_: sent the aud ience out humming and whistling. Indeed, it is while the show sticks to music that it is at its peak. The sever4.l skits included are generally ineffective and with one exception cutting them en tirely from the show would im prove it zoticeablY. "Weird" Routine The one routine deserving a place with "Punkins" is a weird. wild hospital scene complete with perfectly fascinating characters wandering in and out for no ap parent reason. Another scene was set in the West Dorms and went far to bear out the contention held by many that the less local angle in cam pus dramatics, the better the cam pus dramatics. It was the only egg laid by the whole show.
