THEATER
While most of the season's offerings have entered the archives, the fittest few have survived for summer theatergoers:
On Broadway
THE GLASS MENAGERIE. Although shadowed by miscasting, Tennessee Williams' 20-year-old drama is still evocative and haunting.
HALF A SIXPENCE, a musical adaptation of H. G. Wells's Kipps, gets its glitter from Tommy Steele, a toothy grin that sings and dances, and is proving to be one of England's more popular exports.
THE ODD COUPLE. Two men breaking out of wedlock find the freedom of regained bachelorhood more agony than ecstasy. Walter Matthau and Art Carney are hilarious as mismatched roommates.
LUV. Murray Schisgal displays three contemporary ids indulging in a slapstick conversational orgy, and in the process brilliantly satirizes the playwrights of the absurd.
THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. In Bill Manhoff's screechingly funny comedy, Diana Sands is more tiger than kitten as a prostitute who unstuffs a stuffy book clerk (Alan Alda).
FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. Zero Mostel gives body to a spirited hit musical derived from Sholom Aleichem's tale of Tevye and his five daughters, their joys and troubles in a czarist Russian village.
