New York Times:
Theater: 'Xmas in Las Vegas' Jack Richardson Play; Stars Tom Ewell
by Howard Taubman; Opens; November 05, 1965
"It is depressing to report that Jack Richardson, who has a flair for the English language and a sense of irony,
continues to be what he has been for some years: no more than a promising young playwright...."
