THEATER

On Broadway

THE EDUCATION OF H-Y-M-A-N KAPLAN. Poverty is romantic only from a distance; when seen through the eyes of Leo Rosten's maddeningly ingratiating immigrant in this warm and breezy musical, it is also amusing. Tom Bosley is the Yiddishe Yankee.

JOE EGG. British Playwright Peter Nichols pits humor and tenderness against pathos and despair in a drama about a couple (Donald Donnelly and Zena Walker) whose only child is a spastic.

THE APA repertory strikes a range of notes--from the wholesome humor of Tlie Show Off and the slightly sour satire of Pantagleize through the elegiac tones of The Cherry Orchard and the mournful wail of Exit the King.

PLAZA SUITE. Neil Simon takes a lease on laughter, booking three sets of zany American archetypes into a trio of playlets.

Off Broadway

THE BOYS IN THE BAND. In recent sea sons, homosexuality has surfaced as a dramatic theme, and Mart Crowley's uncompromising drama deals with it coolly and honestly, lancing bitchy merriment with desolating insight. An expert cast plays the host and guests at a homosexual birthday party with skill and grace.

THREE PLAYS, by Ed Bullins, offer perceptive vistas of black America.

JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN PARIS. Four talented performers present the Belgian composer's songs of lyrical beauty and startling intuitions.

RECORDS

Jazz

JOHN COLTRANE: EXPRESSION (Impulse!). To some listeners, this record may seem little more than an all-consuming squeal-in. Yet Coltrane fans will treasure it as the last one made by the great tenor saxophonist before his death ten months ago. What Expression offers is the fascination of hearing a man's agonizing struggle to draw some personal, ultimate meaning from recalcitrant music.

LEE MORGAN: DELIGHTFULEE (Blue Note). Trumpeter Morgan's first big hit was The Sidewinder, a snaky, funky groove running straight to bedrock. Now he is back with more constructions on the same foundation. His confident phraseology in the Beatles' hit Yesterday and in Sunrise Sunset from the Broadway hit Fiddler on the Roof is set against brief but velvety arrangements by Oliver Nelson. His finest flights, however, are in his own compositions, Zambia and Nite Flite, while his perking Latin treatment of Ca-Lee-So is spiciest of all.

MILES DAVIS: SORCERER (Columbia). Whether scaling the heights or sighing from the depths, Miles's slender, wavery trumpet tone never loses its quirky cool. Always listening intently to his direction are wizard apprentices, sorcerers in their own right. Tenorman Wayne Shorter composed four tunes on the album, notably the tense and shadowy Prince of Darkness. Drummer Tony Williams contributes a mysterious ballad as well as his inspired, erratic drum effects. Bassist Ron Carter lays the undertone for Pianist Herbie Hancock's inimitable brush strokes of color, while Miles quavers the quintessential, kaleidoscopic themes.

JACKIE McLEAN: NEW AND OLD GOSPEL (Blue Note). That hardy musical ghost, gospel, is summoned once again for this session. Its vibrations materialize most happily in a church-spirited composition by Ornette Coleman, who simply plays trumpet on this album. In Altoist McLean's four-part piece Lifeline, though, these vibrations become only the merest echo, as the group slides into the "new gospel" of freedom. Here McLean's quintet (Lamont Johnson on piano; Scott Holt, bass; Billy Higgins, drums) wheels uninhibitedly through the cycle of human experiences, expressing exultation with rollicking riffs, wonder with gentle breathings, anxiety with abrasive scurryings, and finally the pain of death with wrenching, atonal probings.

BOBBY HUTCHERSON: STICKUP! (Blue Note). West Coast Vibraphonist Hutcherson gets right in the swing with a tasteful crowd of young modernists. Featuring the flexible tenor inventions of Joe Henderson and the thoughtful suspensions of Pianist McCoy Tyner, the quintet favors an ambiance of melodic continuity set to disciplined rhythmics. The finest chapter of their musical book is in Verse, a rubato theme that moves into a flowing waltz tempo. Edging into the avant-garde on 8-4 Beat and Black Circle, the instrumentalists whirl gracefully around some unexpected chords. On the quiet ballad Summer Nights, vibes and piano trace shimmering patterns on the surface of a serene pool.

CINEMA

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Director Stanley Kubrick's epic of the space age is at once a stunning visual experience and a demanding philosophical exercise that sets out to depict nothing less than the essence of our universe.

BELLE DE JOUR. This bizarre tale of the sexual fantasies of a young wife (Catherine Deneuve) is a fitting capstone to the 40-year-career of Spanish Director Luis Bunuel as it ranges from anticlerical homilies to fetishist daydreams.

HOUR OF THE WOLF. In this eerie symbolic tale of the deepening madness of a reclusive artist, Sweden's Ingmar Bergman paints one of his most effective portraits of the dark night of he soul.

I EVEN MET HAPPY GYPSIES. This Yugoslav film uses melancholy, autumnal colors to depict the anachronistic and often tragic life styles of the Indians of Europe --the gypsies.

NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY. A callow New York City cop (George Segal) dogs the elusive tracks of a psyched-up killer (Rod Steiger) with a closetful of disguises in this adroit blend of black comedy and bloody homicide.

UP THE JUNCTION. Suzy Kendall, a dazzling blonde bird from Britain, is the viewer's guide in this gritty, realistic visit to a Battersea slum.

THE PRODUCERS. Two canny Broadway con men set out to make a fortune by staging a flop in this first film by Writer-Comedian Mel Brooks, which, despite a few bad moments, offers some of the funniest American cinema comedy in years.

BOOKS

Best Reading

COUPLES, by John Updike. In his fifth and most ambitious novel, Updike shuffles the sex lives of ten couples as he examines adultery in the "imaginative quest" for life's meaning.

A GUEST FOR THE NIGHT, by S. Y. Agnon. Israel's 1966 Nobel prizewinner spins a searching, unhurried tale about the eternal Wandering Jew, who turns up this time in Eastern Europe just before World War II.

TUNC, by Lawrence Durrell. A devilishly clever, metaphysical mystery tale about freedom and responsibility, by the author of The Alexandria Quartet.

TO WHAT END, by Ward S. Just. The violent confusion of Viet Nam is artfully conveyed in these impressions by a Washington Post reporter who was wounded while covering the war.

DeFORD, by David Shetzline. A first novel with an unlikely hero--a proud and aging carpenter unluckily stuck on Skid Row--and an even unlikelier success in making real the old man's shining vision and integrity.

CAESAR AT THE RUBICON: A PLAY ABOUT POLITICS, by Theodore H. White. The manipulation of man by man is a proper concern of political journalists, and here one of the best takes an informed look at how it was done in the old days.

THE SELECTED WORKS OF CESARE PAVESE. It has been 18 years since Pavese's suicide, and U.S. publication of these four lean, antiromantic novellas at last gives U.S. readers a chance to see why his work is so highly regarded in his native Italy.
