THEATER The new season is setting Broadway marquees ablaze again, though some were d arkened almost as soon as they were lighted. Cambridge Circus, Traveller Without Luggage, and The Last Analysis flashed their lights and are now gone. Holdover shows still predominate. Of the long-runs, How to Succeed m Business Without Really Trying is still incontestably the best of the musicals, and The Subject Was Roses the best of the straight dramatic plays. The top comedy distance runners are Barefoot in the Park and, if there is anyone left who hasn't seen it, Mary, Mary.

OH WHAT A LOVELY WAR is an animated documentary that grins like a skull at the follies of World War I. Adding humor and song to pity and terror, Lovely War achieves a catharsis hardly to be believed of a musical. The hand that guides it is Joan Littlewood's; the guiding spirit is Bertolt Brecht's.
