Best Bets on Broadway

Broadway currently houses almost a record number of popular old residents--Life with Father, Oklahoma!, The Voice of the Turtle, Harvey. Newer favorites:

Street Scene. Turned into a Kurt Weill folk opera, Elmer Rice's famous tenement tragedy remains lively theater (TIME, Jan. 20).

Pinion's Rainbow. Generally bright musical blend of fantasy and satire, in which leprechauns turn human and bigoted Southern Senators turn black (TIME, Jan. 20).

Androcles and the Lion. High-spirited revival of Shaw's satiric romp among fiery Christians and flabby Romans (TIME, Dec. 30).

Joan of Lorraine. A radiant and appealing Ingrid Bergman in Maxwell Anderson's play-within-a-play about Joan of Arc (TIME, Dec. 2).

Another Part of the Forest. Lillian Hellman's powerful study of her Little Foxes when they were 20 years younger (TIME, Dec. 2).

The Iceman Cometh. Eugene O'Neill's extremely long, not especially deep, but often vividly theatrical tale of drunken bums whose pipe dreams are their salvation (TIME, Oct. 21).

Annie Get Your Gun. Ethel Merman doin' what comes natur'lly--giving humor and bounce to a big routine musical (TIME, May 27).

Call Me Mister. Gay revue in which quondam G.I.'s say hello to civilian life (TIME, April 29).
