“Reunion in New York,” a two-act revue staged by the refugee American Viennese Group which was formerly known as the Kleinkunstbuehne of Vienna, opened last night at the Little Theater and was received with praise by dramatic critics.
Brooks Atkinson in the N.Y. Times pointed out that the refugees were “rapidly adapting themselves to the new conditions of their new country.” He said that “the English spoken by the performers had improved remarkably” and that “they have also become sufficiently acclimatized to play for American audiences with a genuine understanding of theatre spirit here.”
