THEATER

On Broadway

THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES, but the theme is thorns in this perceptive new play by Frank D. Gilroy about the barbed bloodletting that drains people who live within the closeness of the family without being close. The playwright could not have dreamed of a better cast than Irene Dailey, Jack Albertson and Martin Sheen.

HAMLET is played by Richard Burton as Hamlet wanted to be—the self-assured ruler of his fortunes, and never the tormented prey of a tragic destiny. It is a portrayal alight with intelligence, but rarely aflame with feeling.

FUNNY GIRL, based on the life of Fanny Brice, is an entertaining excuse—if any is needed—to see an exciting new Broadway star who is far more than an entertainer, Barbra Streisand.

HIGH SPIRITS. Bea Lillie and Tammy Grimes are probably creatures of their own imaginations, since not even Author Noel Coward could quite conceive such zany stage sprites.

ANY WEDNESDAY. Sandy Dennis plays a kept doll with an unkempt sense of humor that leads to precious little love-making but does produce an unreasonable amount of fun-making.
