gan made up his mind. And

her 20 years. ("it's my Irish
stubbornness") she didn't re-
lax until everybody concerned

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
Broadway's new season Is
officially under way-time for
q quick look at what's In
store.
About 100 shows are some
where between q fond gleam
in O hopeful producers eye
and actual rehearsal. On the
basis Of what has happened In
past years, about half will
reach the main stem, six will
die during road tryouts, IL
will wilt in financial drought,
nine will be Withdrawn for re-
vision-and the rest won't get
beyond the fond CLEAN.
Among famous players def
nitely down for Broadway ap-
pearances this season are Al
fred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine.
Katharine Cornell. Helen
Hayes, Julie Harris, Tallulah
Bankhead and Jennifer Jones,
the last q convert from Hol-
lywood.
The Hiehliehts
Among prospective high
lights are these 10-and this
Is strictly one guys opinion:
An about production Of
Shakespeare's IA Midsummer
Nights Dream" by London's
Old Vic Company, including
all of the usually-trimmed
ballet sequences and the en-
tire musical score by Mendels-
sohn. The show goes on a
national tour after the limited
run at the Metropolitan Opera
House starting September 81.
Next comes "All Summer
Long," the second Broadway
show by Robert Anderson who
contributed one Of last sea-
sons biggest hits, Tea and
Sympathy"
For folks full of nostalgia
there will be q revival Of the
18-year-old musical. ION Your
Toes" with the famous
Slaughter of Tenth Avenue"
dance by Richard Rogers,
which brought fame to Ray
Bolger.
Special attention will be
fixed on the first offering Of a
new repertory group, the en-
semble, hich will bring to
Broadway for the first time
Eugene O'Neill's "A Moon for
the Misbegotten."
Among musicals there is

import is Jean Anouilh's 1.-THE

Helen Hayes will appear for
a limited run in What Every
Woman Knows" the Lunts in
Noel Coward's "Quadrille" and
Katharine Cornell in Christie
pher Fry's latest, 1.-THE Dark
Is Light Enough" .yg
The luckiest young girl on
Broadway at the moment is
Florence Henderson, a dane
ing-eyed blond who was born
in Dale, Ind, and grew up in
Owensboro, KY.
Miss Henderson Is to play
the title role in Fanny" Her
leading men will be Ezio PIMA
and Walter Slezak. and the
