music trades survey. In fact.
sales records for the album are
fast approaching those set by
the one from THE Great
Caruso," still an all-time high.
But what Of the future for
Mario? That. my friends, is a
sad question.
Sight of the week: Lisa Davis,
Beryl's kid sister, in an all-pink
outfit walking with her French
poodle, which had been dyed
pink. Looked like Lisa had
dropped her handkerchief and it
was following her. But Mike
Rennie really does follow her.

MIDWEEK MEMOS: With
today's matinee performance,
1.-THE Seven Year ITCH" be-
comes 1000 performances old on
Broadway. But Tom Ewell,
star of the New York company
for more than two seasons. will
be giving his Goth performance
Of the comedy at the National.
Mr. Ewell of course could have
remained on Broadway for the
miles tone performa nce-
equalled by only nine other non
musical productions - but he
chose not to wait. He
wanted to go on the road. a trip
made possible by the available
ity of Eddie Bracken. and the
road company, for the continued
New York run. This sort of
thing happens rarely in the
theater. >. Oddly enough. two
other performers who did the
same thing happen to be here
now. :. They are Jessica Tandy
and Hume Cronyn. playing in
"The Honeys" at the Shubert.
>. They left 1.-THE Fourposter"
to be played by newcomers at
the peak of its Gotham popu-
larity three seasons ago. to
make a Nation wide tour in the
comedy thai was largely their
own handiwork.
Mr. Ewell's contract specified
a limit on his personal appear
ances in the New York run to
permit him to play three cities
on the road. WASHINGTON, Phil
adelphia and Louisville. The
latter is the city that conferred
upon Mr.. Ewell that merest
trace of a Southern accent that
sounds 50 condonina in his per-
fectly shaded performance in
Fitch"
incidentally. the next bet to
hit 1000 performances on Broad
way is "Teahouse of the August
Moon" Which has had three
sets of principal performers. the
latest pair Eli Wallach and John
Beal. A worldwide hit, Tea
house" in two seasons has made
more money for Producer Maui
rice Evans than all the Shake

the classic.

Also awaiting the stork among
