THEATER
On Broadway
THE GLASS MENAGERIE. The texture of Tennessee Williams' 1945 family drama remains unfrayed, a tight weave of poign ancy and poesy. The cast is lackluster, but the play is the best on Broadway.
HALF A SIXPENCE skims along as lightly as a kite, kept in motion by the airy charm of cockney Song-and-Dance-Man Tommy Steele. Kipps, the H. G. Wells story of a rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches hero, pro vides the plot for this pleasant musical.
THE ODD COUPLE. Art Carney and Wal ter Matthau are roommates in Neil Si mons hilarious study of two men who thought they couldn't live with their wives-- until the tried living with each other.
LUV. Anne Jackson, Eli Wallach and Alan Arkin play three wildly amusing neurotics whose feet never quite touch the ground because their minds never get off fhe psychiatrist's couch-except when swept up by their own hot air.
THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. Diana Sands, as a prostitute with paws of s claws and purrs her way into the once-serene life of a self-protective but defenseless book clerk (Alan Alda).
Off Broadway
SQUARE IN THE EYE. Playwright Jack Gelber fires a satirical stream of tracer bullets into the marital war of the egos, careerism, the cults of surgery and psychoanalysis, and the cosmeticians of death industry. A theatrical kaleidoscope, the play is suffused with moral pathos-even while it is being Abrasively funny
THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ENTIRE WORLD AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF COLE PORTER REVISITED. The distilled wit and pleasant melodies of seldom heard Porte songs are consistently entertaining m this campy revue. Kaye Ballard heads a sprightly cast.
RECORDS
Ballads & Broadway
THE SOUND OF MUSIC (RCA Victor).
The movie sound track is so wholesome and inspirational that it makes even Mary Poppins, its rival bestseller sound racy. The children, the nuns, and of course Julie Andrews sing Richard Rodgers and late Oscar Hammerstein's last joint score like angels as they extol steeple bells cuckoo clocks, solfeggio, edelweiss and
THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT-THE SMELL OF THE CROWD (RCA Victor) An other cast album laden with a children's chorus, this time a ragged and nasal group called the Urchins, who keep piping up to accompany Anthony Newley's singing and Cyril Ritchard's musical declamations. But the score, by Newley and Leslie Bricusse, has some good tunes, among them Feeling Good, sung with feeling by Gilbert Price, and Who Can I Turn To, the hit of the show.
SHIRLEY BASSEY BELTS THE BEST! (United Artists). The mulatto Tigress from Tiger Bay, the waterfront district of Cardiff, is big in London but never had a blazing hit in the U.S. until she hammered out the brazen curtain raiser to Goldfinger The Goldfinger theme song also opens this album of Broadway ballads, including Peo ple and Once in a Lifetime, all emotionally amplified by the torchy singer
DEAR HEART AND OTHER SONGS ABOU LOVE (RCA Victor). Henry Mancini has for writing songs that become in stantly familiar. Like (I Love You and) Don't You Forget It, in which "I love you" is repeated 22 times, and Dear Heart, a sentimental waltz that has become this season's must for crooners. Composer-Conductor Mancini's first all-choral al bum is a meticulous blend of voices with orchestra, suitable for his own gentle concoctions but too tame for the Beatlemamc Can't Buy Me Love.
SOFTLY AS I LEAVE YOU (Reprise) is subtitled '"Frank Sinatra Sings All There Is to Know about Love." He falls hard (Then Suddenly Love), he pleads (Talk to Me Baby), he almost cries (Dear Heart), he cares too much (Available), then not at all (Pass Me By). Sinatra is boyish, lilting and convincing even when defending the proposition that true love does not care "whether you are 20 or 92."
ANDY WILLIAMS' DEAR HEART (Colum bia) Williams covers some of the same ground as Sinatra and gets even more choked up over Dear Heart. Williams albums sound as though they revolve at about 23 r.p.m., but that smooth deep voice, trained on hymns and awash with loving sympathy, never falters.
L-O-V-E (Capitol). The late Nat King Cole's last collection of love songs, accom panied by a swinging trumpet includes him More, Thanks To You and The Girl From Ipanema. It is only one of half a dozen albums devoted to matters of the heart that posthumously made him king of the bestseller charts.
CINEMA
MIRAGE. An amnesic scientist (Gregory Peck) with a top secret tucked away in Ms head worries his way through an absorbing jigsaw plot, aided by a private eye (Walter Matthau) who doesn't take the work too seriously.
CAT BALLOU. Lawlessness and disorder abound in this wickedly funny western about a pistol-packing schoolmarm (Jane Fonda) and the company she keeps--the best of it supplied by Lee Marvin, memorably double-cast as a couple of gun slingers-for-hire.
THE YELLOW ROLS-ROYCE. Among the luminous bodies who find love, then it lose it, in the back seat of a 1930 model Phantom II are Rex Harrison and Jeanne Moreau, Alain Delon and Shirley Mac Laine, Omar Sharif and Ingrid Bergman.
NOBODY WAVED GOODBYE. In sensitive, semidocumentary style, Canadian Writer-Director Don Owen explores the problems of two rebellious Toronto teen-agers (Peter Kastner and Julie Biggs).
THE ROUNDERS. More horse-operatics, with Fonda pere (Henry) and Glenn Ford filling the wry open spaces with arable nonsense about two lazy bronco busters and an unbustable mount.
IL SUCCESSO. Italy's affluent society yields one wriggling, upwardly striving nobody (Vittorio Gassman) who is Exhibit A in this fiercely funny satire about the price a man pays for life at the top.
IN HARM'S WAY. Vice, valor and victory in the Pacific at the outset of World War II, with John Wayne and Patricia Neal heading a do-or-die cast commanded by Director Otto Preminger.
BOY TEN FEET TALL. The African odyssey of an orphaned British lad (Fer gus McClelland) leads him to the lair of a rambunctious old diamond poacher Edward G. Robinson) and into a fresh and colorful adventure story.
RED DESERT. Soul-searching against the blighted landscape of industrial Ravenna, with Monica Vitti as a neurotic young wife whose alienation is stunningly visualized in Director Michelangelo Antonioni's first color film.
THE PAWNBROKER. As an anguished old Jew caught between the remembered horrors of Nazi Germany and the deadly grind of life in Spanish Harlem, Rod Steiger illuminates one of the year's grimmest films with one of the year's grandest performances.
BOOKS
Best Reading
IS PARIS BURNING?, by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre. The absorbing story of Hitler's determined, demented plot to blast the city of Paris to "a blackened field of ruins" rather than see it liberated. Following orders, General Dietrich von Choltitz went so far as to plant the explosives. But then he searched his soul, obeyed his conscience instead of his Fuehrer, and delivered the city to the Allies.
THE WASHING OF THE SPEARS, by Donald R. Morris. This massive history of the Zulu nation highlights two chieftains: Shaka, whose wars of conquest depopulated much of southern Africa, allowing the Boers and British to move in, and his grandson Cetshwayo, who won many battles against British armies of the 1880s but lost the war and his land.
A SOUVENIR FROM QAM, by Marc Connelly. This diaphanous novel, set in the never-never kingdom of Sajjid, is Playwright Connelly's (The Green Pastures) highly entertaining first entry into fiction.
EVERYTHING THAT RISES MUST CONVERGE, by Flannery O'Connor. The last stories of a powerful Southern writer who died last year at 39. She dramatizes her ever-recurring themes: sin and salvation, death and rebirth, and the Georgia earth she knew so well.
DOG YEARS, by Guenter Grass. A powerful, complex, exhausting novel of two men--one Jew, one Gentile, neither wholly admirable--who belonged to "the Nazi generation" in Germany. Grass's powerfully evoked theme is, of course, guilt.
THE VIOLENT LAND, by Jorge Amado. Set in Bahia, Brazil's equivalent of the American West, this novel is something of a Brazilian Ox-Bow Incident. The characters, situations and locale are those of a western, but Amado's writing skill lifts them above the routine.
