THEATER

On Broadway

HAMLET. Witty, virile, supremely intelligent, Richard Burton's Hamlet is a masterful prince of language, though never quite the fallen prince of tragedy.

HIGH SPIRITS. A house was never haunted by so blithe a spirit as Tammy Grimes, and Bea Lillie is the comic conjurer who brings her back to earth to tempt her husband and torture his second wife.

FUNNY GIRL shines in the refracted light of the most brilliant new star to rise over Broadway in several seasons, Barbra Streisand. She colors every song and caps all her clowning with the indelible impact of a fiercely magnetic stage presence.

ANY WEDNESDAY. Without even the help of her closetful of balloons, Sandy Dennis ascends from playmate to helpmate in two acts.

DYLAN. Alec Guinness probes the special hell in which Dylan Thomas found himself. His performance is moody, moving, taut with rage and sometimes bright with humor.

HELLO DOLLY! Cast as a matchmaker, Carol Channing dangles her gay, carrot-topped self in front of a stuffy moneybags (David Burns) who is slow off the mark. Gower Champion's dancers set a brisk pace for the chase.

NOBODY LOVES AN ALBATROSS. As a fast-talking TV producerdirector, Robert Preston gives a sly, light touch to a play full of caustic mass-media mockery.

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. Elizabeth Ashley and Robert Redford spice an early married life with dollops of humor and bright good looks.

Off Broadway

DUTCHMAN, by LeRoi Jones. In a New York subway car, a white girl who is a twitchy, neurotic bundle of well-informed cliches and sterile sexual aggressions, lures, taunts, degrades and destroys a Negro in a Brooks Brothers shirt, but not before he tells her, with profane and explicit brutality, how much Negroes hate whites. Though his one-acter repeats the pattern of Albee's The Zoo Story, Jones captures the contemporary mood of violence with raw and nerve-tingling fury.
