THEATER

On Broadway

ANY WEDNESDAY. Sandy (Dennis) is dandy as an executive sweetie kept in an executive suite. She appears to be crying through her smiles while playgoers laugh till they cry.

FOXY. Agile in the choreography of cowardice, Bert Lahr leers maniacally, gargles dialogue, and scurries up the scenery in this zany musical about fool's gold in the Yukon.

DYLAN. Alec Guinness as Dylan Thomas during his U.S. reading tours keeps up a marathon dance of death, pacing it with poetry, word plays, promises—unkept—and an inner pain that even vast quantities of liquor cannot kill.

HELLO, DOLLY! high-steps its musical way back to turn-of-the-century Manhattan. Gower Champion's dance company sets a brisk pace, but at the curtain it is a saucy saucer-eyed Carol Channing who just about steals the show.

NOBODY LOVES AN ALBATROSS, by Ronald Alexander. A hypocrite's hypocrite of a TV writer-producer, roguishly played by Robert Preston, presides over the decline and fall of practically everybody whose talent he can use and abuse.

BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. A pair of newlyweds clamber five flights to a Manhattan flat to coo, tiff, and tousle in a variety of dress and undress. Playwright Neil Simon is a laugh merchant who never runs out of good lines.
