THEATER

On Broadway She Loves Me manages to be romantic about love in an Old Budapest perfume shop without being stickily sentimental.

The lovebirds (Daniel Massey and Bar bara Cook) are ardent and charming, and the songbirds can really sing, a forgotten treat in a musical.

Photo Finish stages a lively dead heat between an old party of 80 and his 60-, 40-, and 20-year-old selves. Author-Director-Star Peter Ustinov has con cocted this stunt play, and with the help of an elegant and able cast, he pulls it off wittily.

Enter Laughing, by Joseph Stein, takes a brash, gauche, inflammably youthful would-be actor from a hat-machine factory to some bogus acting-school footlights. The play is sketchy but captivating and Alan Arkin is a clown's clown.

Strange Interlude, by Eugene O'Neill, shows its age, but the skill and fidelity of the Actors Studio company make this revival a vibrantly living theatrical experience. Geraldine Page is at the top of her form, and Broadway form rarely gets any finer.

Never Too Late, by Sumner Arthur Long. Unexpected fatherhood at 60 turns Paul Ford's face into a contour map of morose grimaces, the mere contemplation of which sends audiences into typhoons of laughter. Orson Bean mirthfully adds to the fundemonium.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, by Edward Albee. A history professor (Arthur Hill) and his bitter half (Uta Hagen) mercilessly tell all the news that's not fit to print about each other.
