By the time Leonard Sillman’s New Faces of 1952 opened on Broadway he had been presenting these shows for nearly two decades. Just as the theatre & Broadway critics were deciding that the 1951 - 1952 theatrical season was the dullest in years, New Faces of 1952 ' bounded into town' ( Kerr, Herald Tribune ) and proved again that ' good revues are about as delightful as anything the stage has to offer ' (Atkinson, Times ). Mr Kerr also reported the show was ' a good-looking, fast moving, intimate revue with a tremendous polish on it ', and Mr. Atkinson found it ' one of the pleasantest events of the year '. As the other critics fell in line in their reviews, the customers fell in line at the box office. Leonard Sillman had a hit on his hands which was later became an equally successful film musical.
