The article focuses on various theatrical productions. Dramas discussed are "Fallen Angels," by Noel Coward starring Nancy Walker and "Time Limit," by Henry Denker and Ralph Burky starring Arthur Kennedy, Richard Kiley. The "Fallen Angels" was first presented in New York in 1927 and a failure then; is essentially an extended revue skit passing itself off as a bit of bright sophistication. The "Time Limit," is not so easily summed up. It is a journalistic melodrama on a theme of psychological and possibly social interest. It makes a point-to the effect that we should be more understanding of the confessed traitors who are broken by the terrible ordeal of a Communist brain-washing.
