| Atkinson's opening night reviews did tend to be on the generalized side. He did have only an hour or two to write them. The thing that set Kerr apart from everyone else and made him so special was that even with the same deadline, he came up with reviews that felt more detailed and analytical and had an interesting, even eloquent quirkiness to them. Maybe the Herald Tribune was an afternoon paper, which would have given Kerr more time than Atkinson had. I don't know the answer to that. |
