THEATER

On Broadway

She Loves Me is an old-fashioned musical that believes in love and has an up-to-date way of showing it, even if it is set in a perfume shop in Old Budapest. He (Daniel Massey) and She (Barbara Cook) make wistful music together.

Photo Finish reduces the Seven Ages of Man to four—20, 40, 60 and 80—and puts them all onstage at the same time. Author-Director-Star Peter Ustinov, as the 80-year-old, plays philosophical host to his earlier selves, and he treats them, and life, as balefully amusing.

Enter Laughing, by Joseph Stein, has been stained with the familiar finish of Jewish family comedy, but the splintery grain of life still shows through it.

Strange Interlude, by Eugene O'Neill, commits the vibrant resources of the Actors Studio Theatre to a 4½-hour play that would be more than a little stale and distinctly interminable without them. What salvages the drama is the emotional integrity of Geraldine Page and her acting confreres. Engagement ends July 13.

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.

Little Me wears its high-polish frivolities with a sophisticated air. The musical's funmaster-in-chief is Sid Caesar, who has never been droller.
