THEATER

On Broadway

THE GLASS MENAGERIE. This revival of the 20-year-old Tennessee Williams play is so much the best drama on Broadway that it is as if a graveyard of mediocrity had abruptly kicked off all its tombstones. The cast, headed by Maureen Stapleton, lacks the distinction of the play, but the glow of this American classic bathes all that it touches.

HALF A SIXPENCE. A musical-comedy version of H. G. Wells's Kipps, trips the fantastic ever so lightly. Tommy Steele smiles all the while as a cockney lad who blithely gains and loses fortunes.

THE ODD COUPLE. Two men suffering hangovers from marriages on the rocks try living together and not liking it. The result is inebriating hilarity.

LUV. Three super-self-aware characters, dizzy from watching the way their little worlds turn, are given a satiric whirl by Playwright Murray Schisgal. Alan Arkin, Anne Jackson and Eli Wallach are the comic dervishes.

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. A righteous busybody (Alan Alda) causes a neighboring prostitute (Diana Sands) to be evicted from her place. She puts him in his—to his dismay and the audience's delight.
