    "Easily the best thing on local boards in years, Mary Chace's comedy-drama about a contented lush and his pooka has been handled with loving are by a top-flight cast and an alert production crew.
    A pooka in this case , as you've probably heard, is a six-foot white rabbit who becomes the companion of one Elwood P. Dowd--magnificently played by Robert Knowles.
    We saw Jimmy Dunn on the Broadway stage, and Jimmy Stewart in the movie role of Elwood and for our money Knowles tops them both. Thayer Boswell is also tops as Veta Louise, Elwood's sister who wants him locked up.
    Mrs. Boswell has wisely created an entirely new character out of Veta Louise, instead of playing it in the manner of Josephine Hull, who just won an Academy Award for her portrayal. We felt that Mrs. Boswell's Vita was perfect - and of course so was Miss Hull's.
    Louise Walker shines ever so brightly as the gawky Myrtle Mae, Veta's unattached daughter; and Ralph Rowe is completely at ease as the doctor who's straining at the leash to give Myrtle Mae her first love.
    Clint Trowbridge has some good scenes as Dr. Sanderson, and old favorite Gene Mounts is perfectly cast as Dr. Chumley. J. Palmer Boggs is properly dignified as the judge, and Joseph Albergo walks away with his too-few brief scenes.
    In minor roles you'll enjoy Martha Barton as the effusive Mrs. Chauvenet, Eve Davidson as Betty Chumley, and Helane Fernandes as Nurse Kelly. Miss Fernandes's beauty as well as the delivery of her lines score solidly". ----Jim Camp, Gainesville Daily Sun,
