that people are delighted by

Fred Astaire and Gary

The two pictures in which
this happened. Funny Face"
and Love in the Afternoon"
have created the cheerful
impression around the film
studios that sophisticated
romatic comedy has been too
long ignored. It used to be
one Of the most profitable
staples In studio programs
back in the days when Irene
Dunno, ClRudette Colbert and
Rosalind Russell were avail
able to play with Fred Mac
Murray. Cary Grant and Ray
Midland.
Sex Takes Over
Then, with these gone,
something happened. Love.
as an emotion involving the
sexes in somewhat spirited
play, degenerated into sex.

Standing by was Tony

She handed over q copy Of

That's certainly q MOUTH

1t Is hardly likely that
Shaw would have been too
happy. at FIRST glance, to see
his play turned into q musi-
cal comedy. But as a slow
man with q dollar. he would
have been enraptured by the
way the money has kept
flowing in since the show
opened. Present indications
point to a gross Of SIS mill
lion before the year is out.
The sale Of records alone has
crossed more than the show,
with million albums sold
for IS million in the first
year. A road company and
the New York production
between them have passed
this figure by now and there
are still the movies and the
London production, which
opens next May. The record
albums are legally unobtain-
able In London. where they
were last reported selling at
$50 per album.

No small reason for the
success Of this show Is Miss
Andrews, less than two years
ago . relatively obscure
young lady who, had just
completed her first lead in
a visiting English musical.
Overnight she was catapulted
into top position In the hot
test property on Broadway,
inundated by movie. stage
and TV offers and her SAL
airy is reported to be In the
s2.OOO-a-week bracket.
But the cockney lines are
still tongue twisters for her.
She had 10 take lessons from
a Cockney expert in New
